WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Grealish on target as Man City cruise past Norwich

Jack Grealish marked his home Manchester City debut with a goal as the champions beat Norwich City 5-0 to claim their first points of the season.

Pep Guardiola's team took a seventh-minute lead at Etihad Stadium courtesy of an own goal, Grant Hanley turning Gabriel Jesus' cross in off Tim Krul. 

Another Jesus cross yielded City's second, the ball hitting Grealish at the far post and going in on 22 minutes. 

Aymeric Laporte made it 3-0 when he scrambled home a corner-kick to score his first City goal on home soil 19 minutes after half-time. 

Jesus squared the ball for substitute Raheem Sterling to tap in, before fellow replacement Riyad Mahrez latched on to a pinpoint Ruben Dias pass to complete the scoring six minutes from time.

It marked a repeat score of the two sides' previous meeting in July last year.
