I was fortunate enough to attend the recent Norwich City vs Middlesbrough match at Carrow Road. It was a match of two halves, with Norwich dominating the first half and Middlesbrough coming back strong in the second.
In the first half, Norwich looked the more likely team to score. They had the majority of the possession and created several chances. However, they were unable to find the back of the net, and the half ended 0-0.
