Here we have with us the Manchester City Player Ratings for their pressing victory over Norwich. The Cityzens took down the Canaries 4-0 at Carrow Road in their Premier League clash on Saturday.
A one sided fixture where the visitors created some problems for the hosts. However, an inevitable City did not fail to strike. Raheem Sterling broke the deadlock after the half hour mark, where he scored a superb curler from just inside the box. The second goal of the night came via Phil Foden, who struggled to net the ball in front of the Norwich defence but eventually got to it.
Sterling struck back again after defender Ruben Dias set up a ball for the Englishman which he simply headed in in front of goal. The Englishman failed to score a penalty in the 90th minute, but scored off the rebound save from the opposition GK to complete his hattrick. The night finally concluded 4-0.
