Norwich manager Alex Neil was pleased with the way his side reacted to their early setback.

"But once we got our goal and then got ahead I thought we were excellent - the response from the players was top class.

"In the second half we started okay and then we started to drop deeper and deeper to protect what we had and the frustrating thing from our point of view is that we didn't see it out.

"It was a really good game, with two teams going toe to toe, not giving an inch and both trying to win it. In the end I thought a draw was a fair result."

Neil revealed that striker Nelson Oliveira had missed the game with a foot injury.

"He needs a scan but if it is what I think it is he could be out for four to six weeks, which would obviously be a big blow for us."
