A Bradley Johnson header has put Norwich City 1-0 up against Wolverhampton Wanderers in this afternoon's Championship clash at Carrow Road.

The hosts were first to threaten as Alexander Tettey drove through the middle three minutes in before finding Lewis Grabban, but Richard Stearman pulled off a smart tackle in the box to thwart any danger.

Wolves nearly shot themselves in the foot moments later when Danny Batth overhit his backpass to Tomasz Kuszczak, but the former Manchester United goalkeeper was able to recover.

Norwich continued to push forward and saw Nathan Redmond beat Batth to the ball before getting a shot away, but the effort sailed over the bar.

Wolves, increasingly under siege as the first half went on, soon found themselves a goal down as Redmond's corner was nodded home by Johnson.

The Canaries finished the first 45 minutes strongly as Kuszczak was forced to keep out consecutive Martin Olsson efforts from close range on the stroke of half time.
