Norwich defeated 5-0 at Manchester City

Norwich City were beaten 5-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon thanks to a Tim Krul own goal and strikes from Jack Grealish, Aymeric Laporte, Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez.

Andrew Omobamidele returned to the bench, replacing Christoph Zimmermann in Daniel Farke's only change from the squad that lost to Liverpool last Saturday.

After Krul punched clear a right-wing cross from Gabriel Jesus, the home side took the lead early on. Rodri found Jesus on the right again, and this time his ball in was aimed at Ferran Torres.

Grant Hanley attempted to clear the danger, but the ball hit Krul and bounced across the line for 1-0 in the seventh minute.
