Norwich caught a lucky break thanks to Joey Barton's alleged headbutt. Seeing it live on TV, and even after seeing replays, I can't say that I can see anything conclusive. They go face to face, Johnson pulls away, but there isn't any sort of wind-up (for lack of a better term) from Barton. Zidane, it wasn't. Certainly Barton's reputation precedes him sometimes, and in this case, it allowed Norwich to take an important 3 points away from home.

Barton said after the game the ref admitted to being conned, he didn't see the headbut only the reaction
