As derby rivalries are put to bed for another season, we've taken a look at the facts and figures of Norwich City's dominance of neighbours Ipswich Town in recent years.
TEN
Norwich City are now unbeaten in their last 10 matches against Ipswich Town, winning six but with three of the last four finishing in 1-1 draws – scoring 20 goals and conceding seven. Sunday's draw extended what was already the longest unbeaten run in the history of the fixture.
NINE
In April it will be nine years since Town have won an East Anglian derby, back in April 2009, when Jon Stead's late goal made sure of a 3-2 win at Portman Road.

TOTAL
21 of the 103 league and cup games in the history of the East Anglian derby have finished in a draw, 13 at Carrow Road and eight at Portman Road. Town just have the overall edge, with 42 wins to City's 40, although that is including two victories in the Texaco Cup.
LEAGUE
Sunday's game was the 90th league meeting of the teams but just the 18th to finish in a draw. Ipswich again just have the edge overall in league games, with 38 wins to Norwich's 34 since the first recorded league meeting back in September 1946.
SECOND TIER
The majority of the 90 league meetings (54) have been in the Championship, or the Second Division as it was known before 1992. The Canaries just have the edge in the second tier, with 20 victories to the Tractors Boys' 19, and the remaining 15 finishing in draws.
GOALS
City have added two goals to their historical tally this season, following October's 1-0 win at Portman Road, to take their league total to 106 and up to 124 in all competitions. Ipswich have scored 134 in the league and 149 overall.
DOUBLES
The Canaries missed their chance for just a seventh league double over the Blues, who have managed it five times.
