Injury-hit Norwich stun champions Manchester City with 3-2 win at Carrow Road

Manchester City slumped to a first defeat in 19 Premier League games as injury-hit Norwich deservedly won 3-2 at Carrow Road.The champions had last lost in the league in January a 2-1 reversal at Newcastle but the Canaries were in inspired form to deny Pep Guardiolas side.Norwich, who were without seven players and could not call on City loanee Patrick Roberts, took the lead in the 18th minute.Kenny McLean headed home a corner at the near post and the Canaries were soon 2-0 up when Teemu Pukki teed up Todd Cantwell to tap into an empty net.City, who are already five points behind leaders Liverpool with just five games played this term, got themselves back in the game before half-time when Sergio Aguero nodded home Bernardo Silvas cross.WE.
