Kasami looked to force the issue in the opening stages for Fulham as he tested the Norwich goal with a shot from distance.

However, Gary Hooper took Norwich's first chance of the game as he was found by Johan Elmander outside of the box, before unleashing an unstoppable effort into the top corner of the goal.

Hooper could have put the hosts further in front in the 25th minute, but his right-footed shot from the centre of the box was saved by David Stockdale.

The hosts were then made to pay in the 33rd minute when Kasami converted a free kick, after some poor movement in the wall allowed the ball a straight passage towards goal.
