Embarrassing. The word that comes to mind after City’s 5-1 loss to fellow newly promoted side Aston Villa.
Labelled a ‘must not lose’ game by both sets of fans, the difference between the two sides couldn’t have been bigger.
Losses to Burnley and Crystal Palace in their last two matches saw them sit just one place above the drop zone and one place above Villa. So, a win for either team would have been so important and one team came out on fire with slick passing and the other could hardly get their foot on the ball; sadly for City’s fans, their team the the latter.
Norwich now have to regroup over the international break and head into the game against Bournemouth looking to end their run of three straight losses.
But just how poor were Norwich? Here are our player ratings from the disappointing defeat…
