A 4-0 win, as expected and unspectacular as they come, has reestablished Manchester City’s 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League. One that prolongs their unbeaten run to 15, extending their near-faultless away record this season to 10 wins and two draws. Along with momentarily halting Norwich City’s resurgence from the depths.
The visitors rarely seemed to break sweat, aside from a frenetic opening 20 minutes that you just knew would not last. Raheem Sterling’s hat-trick was the centre-piece, which included the opener and the full stop. Phil Foden got the other, though he too could have had more.
