    FT: Norwich 1-3 Sunderland

    Sunderland celebrate with their travelling fans at Carrow Road. They've had less than 30% of the possession but fully deserve their win overall. It's an eye-catching result, in this very unpredictable division.

    It's not going to happen for Norwich this afternoon.

    Norwich launch the ball forward, but Jason Steele does well to get out and claim it in the air.

    Sunderland are closing in on an impressive away win.

    It's all Norwich now. They're camped in the Sunderland half, but they're in to stoppage now and there will be at least five minutes added on.

    Norwich 1-3 Sunderland

    Norwich win a 12th corner, this time through Josh Murphy. They're giving it a real go, but they might not have enough time left. This time Marley Watkins sees his volleyed effort blocked.

    Either side of another Norwich corner, Sunderland take off both of their goalscorers, as first Aiden McGeady is replaced by Lynden Gooch and then Lewis Grabban comes off as well, with John O'Shea coming on.

    Norwich 1-3 Sunderland

    Russell Martin hits the post for Norwich from a narrow angle! Good chance!

    Moments later, Sunderland's Tyias Browning knocks the ball behind for a Norwich corner. The game is becoming stretched now with the Canaries committing plenty of players forward.

    Jason Steele punches the corner away for the visitors.

    Norwich have around eight minutes plus stoppage time left to try and complete a remarkable comeback. It's a tough ask.

    Lewis Grabban own goal

    James Maddison's free-kick is headed back across Sunderland's box and, as the visitors fail to clear it, Lewis Grabban inadvertently puts the ball into his own net for an own goal.

    Is there time for Norwich to fight back after all?

  13. SUBSTITUTION (Sunderland)published at 74 mins

    Norwich 0-3 Sunderland

    The visitors make their first change and on comes Darron Gibson for Lee Cattermole in midfield.

    There's a substitution full of Premier League experience, if ever I saw one...

    It was a brilliant cross in from McGeady and a well-time header from an unmarked Lewis Grabban, less than six yards out.

    Lewis Grabban

    It's all over now! Former Norwich man Lewis Grabban has his second of the afternoon after good work from Aiden McGeady again, who sent over a perfect cross.

    Simon Grayson's men are in dreamland at Carrow Road. Who honestly saw this scoreline coming?

    Not me, after the first half an hour, that's for sure.

    Norwich 0-2 Sunderland

    The Norwich fans who have been joining in with the #bbcefl chat get their wish, as Nelson Oliveira comes on for Cameron Jerome.

    Can he be the Canaries' hero for a second week running?

    Norwich 0-2 Sunderland

    This scoreline will be raising quite a few eyebrows in the EFL.

    I saw many, many people write Sunderland off and not even list them among the promotion contenders this season, following their relegation last term and a summer of uncertainty.

    But an away win at Carrow Road would be a very solid statement, in this very early part of the season.

    Kid Presentable: Need to get Nelson Oliveira on. Destined to score similar to last week.

    Quite a few Norwich fans seem to be thinking along the same lines on that one.

    Immediately, Norwich make a change. Josh Murphy is coming on for Yanic Wildschut.
