The hosts had the better of things straight from the opening stages, Russell Martin lashing a header wide in the third minute before Alexander Tettey's shot moments later was just off target.

The Norwegian then struck an effort from 25 yards, but the ball flew straight at Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri.

Norwich kept pushing forward and creating half-chances, with Cameron Jerome and Kyle Lafferty threatening on the half-hour mark, but were unable to break the deadlock.

Eventually, the Canaries succeeded in breaking the deadlock when, just before the hour, Nathan Redmond's corner was nodded home by Martin.

It took Leeds just four minutes to draw level again, Lewis Cook slotting the ball through to Souleymane Doukara, before the Frenchman poked home past John Ruddy.

For all of Norwich's endeavours, they were unable to breach Silvestri's goal again, and so had to settle for a point which sees them end the day fifth in the Championship table, while Leeds sit in 15th place.
