Read our privacy policy Norwich were denied a first point of the new Premier League season after Marc Albrighton’s deflected 76th-minute strike earned Leicester a 2-1 victory at Carrow Road before VAR ruled out a late leveller. Farke’s side had the momentum now and after Cantwell and Lees-Melou had fired off target, Pukki should have done better from Max Aarons’ perfectly weighted cross but the Finnish striker headed straight at Schmeichel. FA Cup winners Leicester remained a threat and ex-Norwich midfielder James Maddison may have done better with two snap-shots from inside the area before Youri Tielemans sliced wide. It was cruel on Norwich but Carrow Road was celebrating three minutes later when McLean headed in Milot Rashica’s corner but with Cantwell standing in front of Schmeichel, VAR ruled the goal out for offside.
