93'FT: Man C 5-0 Norwich!! All over at the Etihad and it was a thumping!! A Krul own goal and a Grealish goal gave the hosts a two goal cushion at the break and Laporte, Sterling and Mahrez added to that in the second 45. Norwich did absolutely nothing going forward and had 1 shot in the whole game. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

Statistics of Jack Grealish in Premier League2630.12430
-
22'Grealish makes it two!!! Jesus goes down this near side, he crosses, and the ball hits Grealish on the left leg and goes in! I think the cross deflects off a Norwich defender on the way through. A bit of luck, but Man City won't mind!
-
21'60% possession for Man City.
-
20'Man City are still dominating proceedings here, but that disallowed goal keeps Norwich in it.
-
19'Grealish is fouled by an opponent.
-
17'The ref goes to the screen and he takes it away!! There isn't much contact, but it's definitely enough to cause Rashica to fall over. Good intervention by Moss in my book. The home fans are far from happy.
-
15'F Torres makes it two, but Norwich want a foul in the build up!!!! Rashica wants a foul by B Silva, the ball goes to Jesus who passes to F Torres and he scores!
-
14'Aarons goes forward and his ball into the area is chested by Walker back to Ederson.
-
13'KDB has been pictured in the stands for this one.
-
12'Free-kick to Norwich after a foul by Rodri.
-
11'I actually think Hanley's clearance was going wide so it will be a Krul own goal. It just hit the Dutchman. No blame can be attached to him.
-
10'Man C are dominating proceedings here. It's a more City like performance and Norwich are obviously weaker than Spurs.
-
8'I think Hanley's clearance was going in anyway, but it hit Krul and went in.
