Norwich 0-0 Leicester
Veteran striker Dion Dublin twice hit the woodwork as Championship strugglers Norwich and Leicester cancelled each other out at Carrow Road.

Dublin's first chance came after five minutes when he headed Mark Fotheringham's corner against the bar.

He also headed against a post from Lee Croft's cross with seconds left as both sides had to be content with a point.

The Foxes themselves were denied by the woodwork 19 minutes from the end when Barry Hayles fired against the post.


  • Norwich manager Glenn Roeder:
    "That has got to be the most one-sided 0-0 draw I have ever been involved in.

    "We had so many chances to win that it was ridiculous and although we were unlucky with the two efforts that came back off of the woodwork we had lots of other opportunities to win the game.

    "We are not putting our chances away and that is something we have got to address. We work on it hard in training all the time but for some reason the ball isn't going into the net during matches."

  • Leicester manager Ian Holloway:
    "I'll certainly take that point and put it in my top pocket. I thought Norwich were terrific today, especially in the first half.

    "Their fans were superb, cheering them on and I thought we did really well to hang on. It was like the Alamo at times and we rode our luck on occasions.

    "But that's four points out of six now and I'm pretty happy with that."
