The industrious Joelinton is down after attempting to slide tackle Rowe in the build-up to Pukki's chance. The physios comes on to tend to the Brazilian, and it looks like Howe will soon make his first change of the game.

WIDE! Rowe finds a yard of space inside the right-hand channel and delicately rolls through for Pukki, who sees his right-footed drive just evade the bottom-left corner. Close for Norwich, but still no goal for the Canaries.

Rashica forces Lascelles into conceding a throw-in deep on the left flank. Newcastle's next task will be to maintain their clean sheet after Joelinton and Guiamares have put them in control.

Aarons barges through the back of Targett but the referee is not interested in the left-back's appeals for a foul. Down the other end, Lascelles does well to intervene in front of Rashica and turns away for a throw-in.
Norwich City vs Newcastle United
Norwich have had four Premier League hat-tricks scored against them this season, with these being netted by Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling, Ivan Toney and Cristiano Ronaldo. No team has ever conceded five hat-tricks in a single Premier League campaign before.

Guiamares swings in a free-kick towards the far post and, seemingly under no danger, McLean opts to turn behind for a corner.

Every Newcastle pass is being cheered by the travelling Magpies supporters and the visitors are truly dominating the abject Canaries in the second half.
