Paul Green's penalty has put Rotherham United in front going into half time of their Championship clash with Norwich City this afternoon.

The heavens opened at Carrow Road as Jonny Howson chipped in a ball for Cameron Jerome, who brought the ball down well but miscued his shot under pressure.

Rotherham's Kari Arnason then headed back across goal but Matt Derbyshire could not get the ball out of his feet and Norwich keeper John Ruddy was there to deal with the danger.

The home side were given a great chance to go in front soon after but Bradley Johnson showed an unfortunate lack of composure in front of goal.

The winger received a lay-off from Nathan Redmond and looked well placed to test Adam Collin, but he hurried his feet and eventually smashed over the bar.

It was an encouraging period for the hosts, who continued to put on the pressure thanks mainly to the good work of midfielder Wes Hoolahan.

Jerome came close with a couple of glancing headers but Rotherham's Green turned the game on its head by scoring a penalty after Ruddy challenged Derbyshire in the Canaries' area.
