A bit of controversy at the end. Leroy Fer passes the ball into the Cardiff goal from Elmander's throw-in after the visitors had played the ball out to attend to an injury. But the goal is disallowed and the referee asks the throw in to be retaken. But there is no time left for any more action and the final whistle is blown.

Hello and welcome to our live text coverage of the Premier League clash between Norwich City and Cardiff City from Carrow Road.
The Canaries come into this fixture having lost four of their last five league outings – a run that has seen them slip into the relegation zone. Manager Chris Hughton will hope his side can halt their poor run of form and pick up three vital points this afternoon ahead of a midweek League Cup encounter against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Cardiff boss Malky Mackay is also under a bit of pressure amid boardroom tensions and rumours of a frosty relationship with club owner Vincent Tan. The Bluebirds will be out to secure a second away win of the season and pull away from the lower reaches of the league table.
TEAM NEWS: Norwich striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel has recovered from a foot injury and starts on the bench, while Fraizer Campbell and Bo-Kyung Kim return to the starting XI for Cardiff. Full line-ups to follow.
Norwich are a bit unlucky to not be ahead after the number of chances they created but David Marshall has been in inspired form in the Cardiff goal. Stick around for the second period.
So a frustrating afternoon for Norwich, who remain a point behind Cardiff in the relegation zone. That's it for our coverage but stick around for live coverage of Southampton v Fulham in around 30 minutes' time. Cheers.
