Norwich stunts Man city
Teemu Pukki scored one and made another as Norwich
inflicted a shock first defeat of the season on Man City, who went down 3-2 at
Carrow Road.
The setback leaves
champions City five points behind Liverpool in the Premier League table.
"This is
not just a result that will reverberate around the Premier League, but the
whole of Europe, It is a thoroughly deserved result, but what a big blow to Pep Guardiola and Man City" said Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher.
City were
chaotic defensively without the injured Aymeric Laporte and fell behind when
Kenny McLean was left unmarked to power in Emi Buendia's near-post corner after
18 minutes.
But another
defensive lapse saw Buendia rob Nicolas Otamendi on the edge of the City box
before squaring for Pukki to restore the hosts' two-goal lead within five
minutes of the restart.
Rodri netted his first City goal from outside the box in the final two minutes but Norwich held on for victory, meaning Pep Guardiola's side have already dropped more points in the opening five games of this season than they did in the entire second half of 2018/19.
