Newcastle were the first to create a chance when Moussa Sissoko fed Loic Remy outside the box, with the striker's right-footed effort creeping wide of the right post.
Remy had a great chance after 15 minutes as he latched onto Sissoko's pass inside the box before seeing his shot kept out by John Ruddy.
The French striker thought that it would be third-time lucky when he created another good chance, this time as he lashed the ball against the post with his right foot having been played in by Sissoko on the counter.
Hatem Ben Arfa was next to try for the visitors as they dominated the first period, but the Frenchman's shot was kept out as it was headed towards the centre of goal.
Norwich almost found themselves with a surprise lead going into the break as Gary Hooper smashed a shot towards goal having been picked out by Leroy Fer, but Tim Krul did well to get down low and make the save.
