The Terriers had actually started the game well, hitting the post inside the first five minutes, but once again they were architects of their own downfall, giving the Canaries a headstart which meant they could not catch them.

Lee Nicholls – given a difficult backpass by Matty Pearson, he did not deal with it well and set Norwich City on their way 5

Tom Edwards – up against the in-form Jonathan Rowe, he still managed to put one very good ball in 6

Matty Pearson – will feel aggrieved by the penalty but took a risk with his challenge 5

Michal Helik – showed his commitment to the cause with a brilliant tackle to pin Norwich in near their corner flag at 3-0 6

Josh Ruffles – only denied a goal by Angus Gunn's brilliant save, he was celebrating it by then 6

Brahima Diarra – given some rough treatment but he was unable to have much effect 6

Jonathan Hogg – his backpass started Town's problems 5

Jack Rudoni – needs to be more ruthless in front of goal 5

Sorba Thomas – some excellent balls in but he lost his cool when the side were 2-0 down 6

Danny Ward – unable to make any headway 5

Josh Koroma – hit the post early on and was a threat but another guilty of not taking his chances 7

Substitutes:

Josh Austerfield (for Thomas, 67) – by the time the subs came on it was damage limitation 5

Delano Burgzorg (for Ward, 67) – ballooned his best chance 5

Pat Jones (for Koroma, 67) – denied by Gunn from a tight angle 5

Ben Jackson (for Rudoni, 78) – N/A

Jaheim Headley (for Diarra, 85) – N/A

Not used: Edmonds-Green, Maxwell, Harratt, Nakayama.
