NORWICH City's fighting spirit finally restored pride in the team after a thrilling East Anglian derby at Carrow Road. Second half goals from new signing Martin Taylor and Jamie Cureton earned the Canaries a well-earned point coming back from two-nil down.

Jamie Cureton said "People think it is like a win, we take it as a sort of win. We needed something, other teams are starting to win and pull away and we don't need that gap getting any bigger so I think the boys will come back in very, very pleased, buzzing and looking forward to Watford."

Piece together bits from here and there in City's previous 13 matches and you could just about get 90 minutes of decent football to put on video. Yesterday, City doubled that. From start to finish they never let up, their heads never dropped. Ipswich had their moments, but they never really took the game by the scruff of the neck.

Even at 2-2, given the abyss that the Norfolk club were firmly staring at come half-time, today's contest is still right up there with the very best of them. As a derby clash the only thing it lacked was a winner.
Otherwise it ticked every box - great goals and marvellous saves all served up with a side salad of controversy, passion and commitment. The moment that Jamie Cureton grabbed the leveller with a wonderful, flicked finish over Neil Alexander will go down in derby folklore for the reception it received.
