CARDIFF NA NORWICH NGOMA NZITO


A superb goalkeeping display from Cardiff's David Marshall denied Norwich City all three points at Carrow Road in their first Premier League meeting.
Chris Hughton's side created several opportunities but were thwarted by the Scottish goalkeeper.
Marshall made excellent stops from Jonny Howson, Gary Hooper, Nathan Redmond and Leroy Fer.
Opposite number John Ruddy also reacted brilliantly to block Jordon Mutch's first-half shot for the Bluebirds.
The result leaves Norwich on eight points and 18th in the table on goal difference, having won only once in their last five league games.
Cardiff have one point more, with manager Malky Mackay's attentions now focused on the first all-Welsh Premier League match against Swansea on 3 November.
