Norwich produced a battling second half display to hold Everton to their third straight Premier League draw.
Toffees striker Romelu Lukaku scored for the sixth successive league game with a header from Gerard Deulofeu's excellent cross.
Leighton Baines was denied by the woodwork, while Arouna Kone and Lukaku also missed chances for Everton.
Wes Hoolahan levelled for Norwich from close range before Cameron Jerome missed a great chance for the hosts.

All the action and reaction from Saturday's Premier League games
The best and worse of Lukaku and Everton
Lukaku now has 15 league and cup goals this season, seven in his last six league games and is second in the Premier League's top scorers with 12 behind Leicester's Jamie Vardy (14).
A big talking point is Cameron Jerome's miss. How did he fail to score? Lovely play in the build-up all goes to waste as the Norwich forward blazes over the bar. He really was this close to goal...
His header from Deulofeu's floated delivery displayed everything that is good about the Belgium striker.
But Lukaku went on to spurn a host of chances as Everton failed to add to their early lead despite dominating a Norwich side that looked desperately short of confidence before the interval.
Baines was denied a goal on his first league start of the season while Kone was also guilty of wasting a couple of chances before Norwich came back strongly after the break.
While Everton remain unbeaten in six league games, improvements are required if they are to seriously push for a European place.
Neil inspires Canaries fightback
Norwich, who conceded early on, went into the match with just one clean sheet in 15 league games.
But Everton's failure to extend their lead allowed the hosts a point that looked beyond them during a one-sided first half.
Neil responded at the start of the second half by replacing Andre Wisdom with Ryan Bennett and it was a change that produced an instant response as Hoolahan bundled Bennett's header over the line.
Norwich went for the winner in this entertaining match but their finishing was as bad as Everton's - Jerome somehow squandering an excellent chance from eight yards.
Man of the match - Wes Hoolahan (Norwich)
Wes Hoolahan has been involved in more Premier League goals this season (seven – two goals, five assists) than any other Norwich City player. He marked a terrific second-half performance with a scrappy yet vital equaliser
What the managers said
Canaries comeback pleases Alex Neil
Norwich manager Alex Neil: "If we perform like we did in the second half then we will be fine.
"We had a good discussion in terms of what's acceptable and all the questions I posed to them at half-time they came out and answered.
"Tactically nothing changed. All that changed in the second half was the way we went about our business."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "Football can be cruel at times and it was today. There is considerable frustration when you create so many chances and you don't get the second goal.
Football can be cruel - Roberto Martinez
"You end up having something to lose. Norwich could have been out of the game at half-time but we gave them a little bit of hope.
"Then the belief and momentum goes into them with the goal."
