The visitors almost had an early lead when Bafetimbi Gomis unleashed a long-range strike, despite having failed to score in his last eight outings, but the shot was well wide.

Swansea started to come under pressure at the back though as Norwich saw more of the ball, but Cameron Jerome headed over from a Robbie Brady free kick, while a 25-yard drive from Jonny Howson was straight at Lukasz Fabianski.

Neil Taylor made a blistering down forward for the visitors just after the half-hour mark, but Gomis could only fire wide from the resulting cross.

The visitors wanted a penalty just before half time when Gomis felt that he was pulled back by Sebastien Bassong, but the referee did not believe there was enough contact, leaving the sides to head into the interval level.
