The Canaries bowed out of the Primer League in miserable fashion as they lost 5-0 to former champions Manchester City.
Canaries fans didn’t hesitate to mention their famous 3-2 win from the opening games of the season but the spotlight was firmly back on Man City as they bid a fond farewell to club legend David Silva.
The visitors got off to the best possible start when memories of last season came flooding back to fans. After just three quick passes, Norwich had gone from the sixteen-yard box to the Citizens’ goal much like the Norwich of last season. But last season, The Canaries didn’t have to deal with VAR, which in an instant, had disallowed the goal due to a clear offside.
After that early wake-up call, the Citizens never took their foot off the gas and by half time, it was 2-0 thanks to Gabriel Jesus tap in and a Kevin De Bruyne wonder goal.
Man City’s dominance didn’t come without more threats to Ederson’s pursuit for the Golden Glove. A mixup at the back resulted in Teemu Pukki being one on one with Ederson but the out of form striker couldn’t find the net.
The Citizens got two more after half time before the legendary Spaniard walked off the Etihad turf for the final time and after that, neither team were really giving the game anything but De Bruyne, with his assist record already in the bag, added one more just for luck.
Here’s how we rated the Norwich players after the game.
