Half-Time Report: Gary Hooper's double puts Norwich City in control

Gary Hooper scores twice as Norwich City take a 2-0 lead in at half time against Blackpool at Carrow Road in the Championship.

Gary Hooper's double has given Norwich City a commanding 2-0 lead at half time against struggling Blackpool at Carrow Road.

Hooper, who had been recalled to the side, justified his inclusion with the opening goal after 12 minutes.

The striker broke free of a static Tangerines backline before coolly slotting his seventh goal of the campaign and the former Celtic man extended his tally before the half-hour mark.

Some neat approach play between Wes Hoolahan and Steven Whittaker saw the ball squeezed through to Hooper, who once again finished with aplomb.

The Canaries nearly made it 3-0 when Lewis Grabban's effort was saved on to the post and Alex Neil's side largely dominated proceedings throughout the opening 45 minutes.
