Norwich City drew 1-1 at Preston North End in the Championship today, cutting their lead at the top of the table to six points.
Norwich City went into today’s game at Deepdale with an eight-point lead over Watford in 2nd, with 3rd-place Swansea City not in action today.
Daniel Farke’s side were gunning to get back to winning ways after having a nine-game winning streak halted last time out, but were frustrated by Preston today.

Emi Buendia got a goal on 17-minutes and Norwich would look strong in front.
The Canaries would eventually be pulled back level by Preston who scored in the 94th-minute through Brad Potts – but there were still some inspired performances from Farke’s men today.
Bali Mumba impressed at right-back, but 18-year-old Andrew Omobamidele gave a hugely impressive account of himself in what was his full Championship debut for the club.
See what these fans had to say on Twitter about the Irishman’s performance today:
If Omobamidele plays the rest of the season, just think how huge that will be for his development. First 8 starts in the first team, the run-in for promotion. Barden had a big season too with his run of games. #ncfc

Andrew Omobamidele doesn't look like an 18-year-old making his senior debut so far.
He looks confident, composed and effective on the ball. As has been tweeted by others, it was a sublime piece of defending to block that effort on the line.
Well done that man. #NCFC

Omobamidele has been excellent, good blocks, calm and looks comfortable, so far, on a really testing full #NCFC debut. PNE chucked the ball in the box plenty early on, Mumba showing his attacking urgency from full-back again too @paulhc64 @FocusImagesLtd https://t.co/CVIYQFRUWm pic.twitter.com/2BKJnPiNUW

omobamidele has got a good future, possibly future captain material, we still need another centre back this summer mind

Omobamidele has been absolutely outstanding. Wouldn’t think it’s his first start in senior football.
Still 45 minutes to go, but what a debut he’s having. #NCFC
