Danny Welbeck scored the only goal of the game in the second period after finding the back of the net from Olivier Giroud’s knock-down.

Moments later, the Canaries were again the ones to provide the effort on goal as Cameron Jerome’s first-time volley was sent flying wide after a quickly taken throw-in.
