Crystal Palace held by Norwich
Wilfried Zaha scored and then missed with a terrible penalty as Crystal Palace held Norwich to keep the Canaries in the relegation zone.
Norwich led through the quickest Premier League goal of the season when Teemu Pukki fired in after 38 seconds from Adam Idah’s lay-off.
The Canaries had the better chances early on but Palace improved and Jean-Philippe Mateta had a goal disallowed.
Zaha curled a beautiful effort in from the edge of the box but was guilty of one of the worst Premier League penalties ever.
He seemed to slip as he stepped up and scuffed his kick several feet wide.
“I felt my left leg go and thought ‘I’ve messed this up’,” Zaha told BBC Sport. “I was shocked.
“That’s football. I was buzzing about the goal then I missed that. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. That’s the first pen I’ve missed. I’m confident to go again and take it [the next one].”
Palace had the better chances to win with Angus Gunn playing well in the Norwich goal.
