Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen rescue a point for Tottenham but still suffer setback in race for top four against rock-bottom Norwich
2019/2020 Premier League
2-2
Match Report
Harry Kane scored a late penalty to rescue Tottenham a 2-2 draw against bottom-of-the-table Norwich City in Saturday's Premier League clash.
The England international marked his 200th appearance in the competition by winning and then converting a spot-kick with seven minutes remaining at Carrow Road.
Mario Vrancic's first Premier League goal had earlier given Norwich a first-half lead and Teemu Pukki had one ruled out by the video assistant referee for a contentious offside.
Christian Eriksen's free-kick temporarily restored parity before Serge Aurier comically put into his own net, but Kane spared Spurs' blushes somewhat in the closing stages.

Match Events
18' GOAL! Norwich City 1-0 Tottenham (Vrancic)
GOAL! Vrancic pings in a fantastic ball from the left after robbing Aurier of the ball that Pukki chests down superbly in the box before slotting home past Gazzaniga! VAR are going to have a look at this one, though.
22' Yellow Card! Vrancic booked
Vrancic now goes in the book as he slides in recklessly on Ndombele from behind. Poor challenge from the midfielder.
33' OFFSIDE! Pukki's goal disallowed
GOAL DISALLOWED! It's so harsh on Pukki, who must have been a centimetre ahead of Alderweireld as the ball was played, but VAR chalks the goal off! It's still 1-0.
55' GOAL! Norwich City 1-1 Tottenham (Eriksen)
SPURS ARE LEVEL! Eriksen and Lo Celso step up to the free-kick in a central position but it's the former who hits it and it flies over the wall and past Krul! Amadou was the only member of the wall not to jump and the strike went just over his head!
61' OWN GOAL! Norwich City 2-1 Tottenham (Aurier)
OWN-GOAL!! NORWICH ARE BACK IN FRONT! A ball forward to Pukki in behind causes Spurs to panic at the back and Alderweireld, in tackling Pukki, plays the ball off Aurier and into the net! It's 2-1 to Norwich!
83' Penalty Goal! Norwich City 2-2 Tottenham (Kane)
Kane is played in down the right and Zimmermann recklessly goes to ground as the striker cut back, felling him and giving away a clear penalty!
GOAL!! SPURS ARE LEVEL AGAIN! Kane keeps his cool from the spot, sending Krul the wrong way and firing in to the right of goal!
