Yeovil   3 - 3   Norwich

Yeovil 3-3 Norwich

Yeovil 3-3 Norwich

Norwich salvaged a draw by scoring in the fourth minute of stoppage time after a feast of goals at Huish Park.

The Glovers hit the only goal of a dull first half when Dean Bowditch headed in a Ryan Mason corner but Chris Martin diverted Grant Holt's cross to level.

Gary Doherty headed Norwich in front from a free-kick but Shaun MacDonald equalised from the edge of the box.

Jon Obika's header looked to have won it but Doherty claimed Norwich's third by deflecting in Russell Martin's shot.


Yeovil Town manager Terry Skiverton told BBC Somerset:

"Three goals at home should be good enough and I'm not happy with the defending.

"Our two best headers of the ball are Craig Alcock and Sam Williams and our central defenders need to start heading more.

"We stood the test today and I think before the game we would have taken a point with the recent run of form that Norwich have had."

Norwich manager Paul Lambert told BBC Radio Norfolk:

"I'm delighted we never stopped going, terrific attitude, never giving up. I'm delighted with the point but disappointed we never got three.

"It takes big players especially away from home, to keep going, I'll give credit where it's due it was a battling performance.

"We done OK in spells today but it just shows how we've got a great spirit."
