Norwich open gap as Huckerby sits it out

Winger Huckerby completed his move to the Canaries from Manchester City before yesterday's encounter and he saw his team-mates survive an early scare before Mathias Svensson's goal proved the difference between the teams.

West Brom earlier missed the chance to re-take the Division One lead and were indebted to Thomas Gaardsoe's 90th-minute equaliser to snatch a 1-1 draw at home to Derby. Trailing to Candido Costa's 86th-minute goal, the Danish defender ensured that at least the Baggies drew level.
