Match Report
Teemu Pukki and Emiliano Buendia starred as Manchester City lost in the Premier League for the first time since January.
Norwich City shocked Premier League champions Manchester City 3-2 at Carrow Road despite the Canaries coping with a massive injury crisis.
The visitors' first league loss since January was self-inflicted as defenders made regular errors, but Norwich, whose goals came from Kenny McLean, Todd Cantwell and Teemu Pukki, fully deserved their second home win since sealing promotion.
Rodri drilled home with two minutes to go to give City hope of a point but defeat on Saturday leaves them five points behind Liverpool in the table, with the Reds holding a 100 per cent record after five Premier League games.

18' GOAL! Norwich City 1-0 Man City (McLean)
GOAL! 1-0! The Canaries take the lead from the corner as McLean rises to head home. Buendia puts a sublime cross towards the near post and the Scot moves unmarked to meet it. McLean sends his effort with power towards the top-right corner to send Carrow Road into raptures.
28' GOAL! Norwich City 2-0 Man City (Cantwell)
GOAL! 2-0! Buendia releases Pukki through on goal, but he has work to do. However, Cantwell surges forward in support and the Finn spots him and places a low ball towards the back post. Cantwell races on to it and taps home into an empty net.
30' CLOSE! Sterling hits the post
Bernardo Silva heads the ball across the face of goal from David Silva's cross. Sterling pounces to power a header towards the target, only to be denied by the post. So close to one back for the visitors.
45' GOAL! Norwich City 2-1 Man City (Aguero)
GOAL! 2-1! The Canaries switch off at the back and leave Aguero unmarked in the middle. Bernardo Silva picks out the Argentine, who guides his header into the ground and the ball finds the bottom-right corner.
50' GOAL! Norwich City 3-1 Man City (Pukki)
GOAL! 3-1! A nightmare for Otamendi as he drops a huge clanger to allow Pukki to score.
A minute after Stones dallied on the ball and was almost punished, Otamendi does the same thing. Buendia puts the pressure on and wins the challenge in the box. He squares to Pukki, who controls before stabbing an effort past Ederson.
88' GOAL! Norwich City 3-2 Man City (Rodri)
GOAL! 3-2! The visitors close within a goal of parity as the Spaniard finds the bottom-left corner with a drive from the edge of the box. Jesus picks out his team-mate 20 yards out and he lets fly. It's not the best effort, but it has enough to beat the hand of Krul to nestle into the back of the net.
