Bradley Johnson's disallowed goal early on is the closest either side has come to a breakthrough in the first half of this evening's Championship match between Huddersfield Town and Norwich City.

The midfielder thought he had put the visitors ahead inside seven minutes when he finished off a header from Cameron Jerome, but the referee instead booked Johnson for an earlier infringement.

Perhaps buoyed by that decision, Huddersfield pushed forward and came close to taking the lead through Joel Lynch's header which was well tipped over by John Ruddy.

James Vaughan and Graham Dorrans both fired shots wide of goal as the half progressed, while the Terriers man also forced another stop out of Ruddy shortly after.

The best chance of a goalless opening 45 minutes fell the way of Gary Hooper, who failed to convert with an open goal in front of him after being picked out by Johnny Howson.
