Norwich 1-1 Coventry
Dean Ashton heads Norwich into an early lead against Coventry
Dele Adebola rescued a point for Coventry away at Norwich with a close-range strike at Carrow Road.
Adebola met Gary McSheffrey's cross with 25 minutes to go to cancel out Dean Ashton's first-half opener.
Ashton, who had gone close with a testing 25-yard free-kick, climbed high to head in Dean Marney's centre.
Leon McKenzie drew a save from Stephen Bywater as Norwich had the best chances and Ashton should have won it when he headed against the bar late on.

Norwich manager Nigel Worthington:
"A lot of people in this area are thinking it's going to be a cake-walk, but this is a tough league.
"In the first half our performance and energy level was good, but the second was completely different. We didn't pass the ball and it's a fair result.
"But this is two points dropped. We have to be patient and resilient and take our chances when they come."
