Norwich comeback stuns Rovers

Substitute Grant Holt's controversial injury-time penalty completed a sterling Norwich fightback and earned a 3-3 draw against struggling Blackburn.

Rovers, who started the game anchored to the foot of the Premier League, looked set for their first away win of the season after second-half strikes from Yakubu and skipper Chris Samba put them 3-1 ahead at Carrow Road.

Junior Hoilett opened the scoring with a wonderful strike just seconds before the half-time break, with Norwich's Steve Morison levelling shortly after the restart.

Two goals in three minutes put under-fire Steve Kean's men in command before Norwich reduced the deficit when Bradley Johnson's wayward shot took a huge deflection off Rovers defender Jason Lowe and looped over a stranded Paul Robinson.

And the comeback was completed when Holt smashed home from 12 yards after Steven N'Zonzi was harshly adjudged to have handballed in added time.cheap iphone unlock
