Holt snatches point for Norwich

29 October 2011 17:17

Norwich captain Grant Holt came off the bench to net a stoppage-time penalty as Blackburn were denied a much-needed Barclays Premier League win in an 3-3 entertaining draw at Carrow Road.

Bottom club Rovers took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Junior Hoilett and, although Wales striker Steve Morison levelled after 53 minutes, two quick goals from Ayegbeni Yakubu and Christopher Samba looked to have secured a first away win.

However, Norwich grabbed a lifeline with eight minutes to go through Bradley Johnson's deflected effort before substitute Holt earned a point in stoppage time from the spot after Steven Nzonzi handled at the far post.
