• Russell Martin
Bizarre verbal spat with one of the Burton assistants in the seccond half. May feel could have done better for Albion's equaliser. 7.0
• Timm Klose
Another sore head beckons no doubt after numerous aerial clearances. Very good in the second period defending set pieces when Burton fancied it. 7.0
• Martin Olsson
Showed plenty of composure to rifle Norwich in front. Should have had a second after the break when he missed from six yards out. 7.5
• Graham Dorrans
On the ball in and around the opposition box there are few better at this level. Demonstrated by the threaded pass for Martin Olsson's goal. 7.5
• Jonny Howson
Calming influence in those congested central areas. But beaten in the air at the far post for Albion's equaliser. 7.0
• Jacob Murphy
Continues to leave his mark at this level with another goal. Timely coming so soon after Burton's leveller, albeit it brushed John Mousinho on its way. 7.5
• Wes Hoolahan
Once Norwich got themselves in front the Irishman's influence grew. Some clever play in confined spaces. 7.5
• Robbie Brady
Penalty saved in the second period. His manager opted to praise the Burton keeper in that duel but indicative of a talent still trying to get back to his best level this season. 6.5
• Cameron Jerome
Prodigious work rate. But should have notched at least once. Particularly second half chance struck at the diving Jon McLaughlin. 7.0
