NEWCSATLE United were rather fortunate to come away with a point as they struggled to create anything against bottom-of-the-Premier-League Norwich City at St James’ Park.

As takeover talk swirls around Tyneside once again, there was an opportunity to further cement their position in mid-table, but it was another disappointing afternoon, even though their unbeaten run stretched to seven games. 

Teemu Pukki had the chances to win it, but the visitors’ limitations were clear too.
