United Win!
Manchester United keep on moving in a positive direction as they come away with a win against Norwich. This is United’s first away win of this season. There were two first half goals from McTominay and Rashford as well as two missed penalties from Rashford and Martial. The Frenchman got United’s third in the 73rd minute to ensure a United win. Onel Hernandez got a late goal to deny Dave a clean sheet but it was not enough in the end. These results mean that United have jumped from 14th to 7th in a span of 90 minutes and are now just 7 points off of third.
Next up for United is a League Cup game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 30 October and an away Premier League match against Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium.

After predicting a mediocre 9th place for Norwich last season, I didn’t actually make it to Carrow Road until Boxing Day. By this point the Canaries were flirting with automatic promotion and hadn’t lost a league game in over two months.
Not long after the hour mark, City found themselves 3-0 down to a relatively unimpressive Nottingham Forest side. But even at that moment, Christmas wasn’t ruined. Norwich were creating chances like there was no tomorrow. Incredibly Norwich made it back to 3-3, with two injury time goals from Onel Hernandez, the player I suggested it was worth keeping an eye on last season. If you haven't seen Jeff Stelling’s reaction to the third Norwich goal, it is well worth looking up.
Norwich lost their next game three days later to Frank Lampard’s Derby County but hardly looked back from that point onwards. A defeat to Preston in February was the only blemish in an incredible end to the 2018/2019 which saw the Norfolk side finish as champions on 94 points.
As they head to Anfield on Friday, it’ll be almost six months since Norwich last lost a competitive game, so in a sense there no reason for Daniel Farke’s team to approach the match with anything other than confidence. Not necessarily a confidence that they can win the game, but that they can utilise their brand of football, lovingly referred to as ‘Farkeball’ to take on Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
The first thing anyone looks for as we enter into August is the summer signings. With Harry Maguire heading to Manchester United for an amount in excess of £80 million, it is worth noting the only fee Norwich have out laid is not even 1% of that. Sam Byram, a £750,000 signing from West Ham, is likely to be a back up right back for the immensely promising Max Aarons.
The other business has involved free transfers and loans. Swiss striker Josip Drmic, signed on a free from Monchengladbach will likely play second fiddle to last season’s top scorer Teemu Pukki. At the age of 30, Drmic will be looking for redemption after a few seasons of unfortunate injuries. His pre-season has been interesting, scoring a perfect hat-trick against Luton on a Saturday before releasing his own music video on the Sunday. Even if he struggles to find the net this season, he can look back fondly on the two days that were even more productive than Craig David’s seven.
Signed on loan from Schalke, German stopper Ralf Fahrmann provides much needed competition for Tim Krul in goal. Despite being a free transfer, a leader and a Championship winning goalkeeper, the Dutchman came in for a lot of stick last season. He is no doubt a good keeper and an asset to the dressing room, but Fahrmann will fancy his chances of grabbing the number 1 shirt. I think Krul will get the nod at Anfield, but Fahrmann will be number 1 by Christmas.
The first signing Norwich made this season, Patrick Roberts, has arguably the highest ceiling of all the new arrivals. He’s a left footer, happy to play on the right wing, who hasn’t yet had his chance in the top flight, despite signing for Manchester City four years ago. After limited success at Celtic and Girona, Norwich seems a sensible choice. He should get given a chance by a manager who has pedigree for bringing through young players, notably Roberts’ ex team-mate Angus Gunn. Whether this proves to be his breakthrough season, only time will tell.
If Norwich get off to a poor start then inevitably sports journalists across the land will point to the lack of spending as the obvious shortcoming. But Norwich have been clear from the start that they don’t have the financial muscle to splash the cash. And more pertinently, the feeling around the club is a lot of the players can make the step up to the Premier League without too much fuss. Many of last season’s key players have signed new contracts over the summer. Farke and the indispensable sporting director Stuart Webber have even gone as far buying flowers for the players’ partners to thank them for their support last season. It’s moves like this that could help keep the team together and avoid players being poached by bigger clubs for a little longer.
Aston Villa have spent in excess of £100 million this summer which has gained them the most media attention of the three new promoted sides. The comparisons with Fulham, who spent that much are also lazy. Besides Jack Grealish and John McGinn, Villa had a fairly average Championship squad supplemented by useful loan signings such as Tammy Abraham. Sure Villa might go down, but they’d have been likely to be relegated not long after Christmas without a major overhaul of the existing crop of the players. The same goes for the other promoted side Sheffield United, who appear to have made some shrewd acquisitions such as Callum Robinson and Oli McBurnie to help them make the step up.
Going back to ‘Farkeball’, it does have the potential for success against better opposition. Daniel Farke’s first season at Norwich led to unimpressive 14th place finish in the Championship, which would have almost certainly been lower without James Maddison. But during that season there were very competitive cup games against good Arsenal and Chelsea sides, as well as a decent battle with Bournemouth during the most recent campaign.
Any Norwich fan with a modicum of common sense would be ecstatic with a 17th place finish. But I’d suggest a higher finish is by no means out of the question. The aforementioned will hope Teemu Pukki, the greatest free transfer in Championship history, will hope to turn his 29 league goals last season into double figures of Premier League goals. Bosnian midfielder Mario Vrancic became a greater influence in the second half of last season, and has a world class free-kick in him. But the jewel in the crown is undoubtedly 22 year-old Emi Buendia.
The skilful Argentinian lit up Carrow Road with some sensational performances after joining from Getafe last season. His influence was such that Norwich didn’t win any of the league games he played no part in. It’s not just his ability on the ball, he is superb at winning the ball back from opponents, which makes him deadly in the final third. Norwich fans thought Maddison was going to be as good as it ever got, but Buendia reached levels that have made most forget the Leicester man’ absence. I’d be surprised if any Norwich fan would swap Buendia to have Maddison back right now. Of all the City players, he is the one who could take the league by storm.
For all of my unusual optimism, things could go still go very wrong for Norwich. I’d be no more surprised if Liverpool put 5 past them on Friday as if Daniel Farke’s men snatched a point. The defence, likely to be made up of youngsters Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis and Ben Godfrey has brilliant potential but this is an environment they’ve not faced before. Also longer term, key injuries to the full backs (Lewis and Aarons) as well as Buendia or Pukki could compromise the free flowing style of football Norwich play.
City have got this far by doing it their own way. As they enter the Premier League, the one thing you can guarantee is that they'll continue along that path and see how far it can take them. Unlike previous promotions it feels like Norwich aren't just happy to be there, they really want to show what they can do. I’d expect as the seasons roars into action, the Canaries are much more likely to be making the noise than listening to it.

Coventry 2 - 4 Norwich
Norwich continued their resurgence under new head coach David Wagner as they saw off a spirited Coventry to win 4-2 at the CBS Arena. A week earlier, the Canaries were 3-0 up at Preston inside half an hour, and they bettered the feat against the Sky Blues, with a Michael Rose own goal and one each from Onel Hernandez and Josh Sargent looking to have put the result beyond doubt with 18 minutes on…

Manchester City 5-0 Norwich: Kevin de Bruyne scores brace as David Silva bids farewell to league
Somehow there was no goal for David Silva on his Premier League farewell, but that was about the only target Manchester City failed to hit at the Etihad.
Kevin De Bruyne equalled Thierry Henry’s record of 20 assists as well as scoring with two excellent strikes. City brought up a century of league goals for the third time, Raheem Sterling became the first Englishman since Brian Kidd in 1977 to score 20 goals for the club in a league campaign, and Ederson pipped Burnley’s Nick Pope to the Golden Glove award with a clean sheet.
Silva walked off towards the end of his 309th and final Premier League appearance to polite applause around a near-empty Etihad, but nothing compared to what he deserves after a fantastic decade here. At least he will be back here one more time against Real Madrid in the Champions League next month.
Gabriel Jesus celebrates after his goal put Manchester City in the ascendancy in their clash against Norwich on Sunday
Jesus showed impressive composure to steer the ball into the back of the net as City went ahead against Norwich
Jesus is delighted after managing to put Manchester City in the lead during their game at home to Norwich
The Spaniard, who hugged his teammates as he left, was then voted man of the match but he would be the first to acknowledge that De Bruyne was a more worthy recipient.
In the week that he lost out to Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson for the FWA Player of the Year award, De Bruyne once again demonstrated why he could yet walk away with the PFA award next week.
The highlight came in added time at the end of the first half when City’s one-goal lead, courtesy of a Gabriel Jesus effort, was looking more than a little vulnerable and De Bruyne received the ball from Kyle Walker 20 yards from goal.
The Belgian was being marked by Marco Stiepermann but that really didn’t seem to matter. De Bruyne transferred the ball to his left foot with a drag back and little flick, and then back onto his right with another piece of trickery.
It gave him the time and space to size up a shot and what a shot it was, curled beyond Tim Krul into the top corner.
That was goal No.99 and the century arrived in the 79th minute when Sterling latched onto De Bruyne’s exquisite throughball to score. Sterling had his 20th league goal – and 30th in all competitions – and De Bruyne had emulated Henry’s assist record set in in 2003.

The Belgium international managed to find the net with an excellent strike on the stroke of half time at the Etihad Stadium
The City players were quick to rush to de Bruyne and congratulate him following his goal in the clash against Norwich
There was still time for Riyad Mahrez and De Bruyne to score again as relegated Norwich said a rather sad farewell to the Premier League.
Their fortunes had changed dramatically since stunning City 3-2 at Carrow Road in September in what proved to be the highlight of their one season back in the top-flight.
That win left them on six points after five games. In the 33 matches since, the Canaries have added just 15 points and this was a 10th straight league defeat.
It has been a miserable spell and one that was summed up by events between the eight and 11 minutes here at the Etihad.
Onel Hernandez thought he had given Norwich a shock lead when he broke forward from midway inside the City half and got away from three opponents before drilling a shot inside Ederson’s near post.
After ten years at Manchester City, David Silva made his final Premier League appearance for the club in this victory
Raheem Sterling is jubilant after his goal added to City’s lead in their clash against Norwich in the Premier League
Sterling was able to end the Premier League season with another goal as City comfortably took all three points
It looked like a fine goal, and what have been only Norwich’s second in the league since the end of February. However, a routine VAR check showed that the Cuban was offside when he received the ball.
Three minutes later, it was City took the lead instead and this time there was no doubt it would stand. Sterling had already skewed an early shot wide when he played a one-two with De Bruyne and fired in a low cross. Lukas Rupp intervened to thwart Silva in a scramble on the edge of the six-yard box, but Max Aarons touched the ball to Gabriel Jesus who turned it over the line.
Norwich survived another goalmouth melee when Jesus played Kyle Walker in behind and goalkeeper Tim Krul couldn’t hold the defender’s cross-shot. Ben Godfrey made a fantastic block to keep out Jesus’s shot, and the Norwich centre-back was on hand again moments later to deny Silva a farewell goal after Sterling had teed up the Spaniard with a fine run and cutback.

Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson won the Premier League golden glove after he kept 16 clean sheets this season
At that stage, Norwich were hanging on but they spurned a great chance to equalise in the 36th minute. Eric Garcia and Aymeric Laporte were involved in a mix-up on halfway and Todd Cantwell sent Teemu Pukki clear on goal. This time there was no question of offside because the Finn was in his own half. However, Pukki seemed to lose confidence with every stride he took towards Ederson as the City keeper came out to the edge of his box. Pukki’s tame effort was easily blocked and Cantwell’s follow-up chip drifted just over the bar.
De Bruyne set up Phil Foden for a shot straight at Krul before Silva again went close, dragging a shot inches wide of the far post after collecting Sterling’s pass and turning away from Christoph Zimmermann in one movement.
The City skipper continued to be frustrated in the second half, twisting and turning to create space for himself inside the box only to see Krul palm his shot away, but nothing was going to stop City from reaching their other targets.
Onel Hernandez thought that he had put Norwich in the lead in the opening stages of the game but it was overturned by VAR

De Bruyne almost got the assist he need when Zimmermann turned his cross against the post before he received a pass from Silva in the 79th minute. He measured an inch-perfect pass through the Norwich defence to pick out Sterling who touched it past the advancing Krul.
Shambolic defending by Norwich under pressure from De Bruyne allowed Mahrez to smash home the fourth goal in the 84th minute, and it was the Algerian’s trickery that led to the ball breaking De Bruyne’s way in the first minute of added time. Once again, he picked his spot and curled an excellent effort beyond the helpless Krul.
