Goals from Mame Biram Diouf and Russell Martin have ensured that Norwich City and Stoke City are level at half time this afternoon.

Neither side was able to assert their dominance in the game's early moments, but it was visitors Stoke who took the lead on 11 minutes - Xherdan Shaqiri with an assist on his Premier League debut as he found Diouf with a free kick from the right of the penalty area.

Norwich came close to equalising through Nathan Redmond, but his effort from distance went wide, before Alexander Tettey also missed the target from distance.

The hosts did find their equaliser on 28 minutes through captain Russell Martin, who was found in space by Redmond before producing a cool finish between Jack Butland's legs.

The Canaries came close to taking the lead before the break through Redmond, but his strike was blocked by Marc Muniesa.
