Paul Merson was also critical of Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy, who made several mistakes throughout the game, particularly in failing to deal with Yakubu''s goal.

The 24-year-old has earned plenty of plaudits this season, but Merson said he was shown to be fallible in this game.

"You''ve got to give credit when credit''s due and he has been brilliant," he said.

"But today he dropped one in the first half and it got cleared off the line, then for Yakubu''s goal he had Weetabix hands. They just crumpled and it went straight through his hands.

"It was shocking for someone who''d had a lot of praise. That''s the difference between great goalkeepers and the ones who are good goalies.

"You can''t have a go at him because he''s done great and he saved them a point last week. This week he made a couple of mistakes."

So you''re only having a go at him because of Paul Merson?

Right....
