The course of the match Man City vs Norwich
City who need a win immediately step on the gas since the early minutes. The result in the seventh minute, City had led 1-0 through an own goal Tim Krul who tried to parry the ball kick Gabriel Jesus, which had been blocked by Norwich captain Grant Hanley.
City had doubled the score in the 15th minute when a counter-attack led by Bernardo Silva was able to penetrate the Norwich defense. He then passed the ball to Ferran Torres who had held the ball for a moment, before breaking into Krul’s goal.
However, the goal was disallowed by the referee because in the VAR broadcast, Silva first violated Milot Rashica when he won the ball. However, the VAR decision did not stop City’s explosiveness which continued to attack the Norwich defense.
Jack Grealish finally opened the tap for City in the 20th minute. Jesus’ hard work from the right was ended by a tug at the far post which passed four Norwich players.
There was Grealish who actually hit the ball with his knee but Krul was misled, so the goal was broken.
