Norwich City 3-2 Manchester City: 5 Talking Points

#4 The Pukki train rolls on

Pukki created the assist for Cantwell and applied the finishing touch to restore Norwich's two-goal cushion

August Player of the Month Teemu Pukki continued his impressive form with an efficient all-round display against the champions - combining selflessness and attacking movement to good effect against a vulnerable City backline who were countered at will and struggled to cope.

He breached their defence after latching onto Marco Stiepermann's pass, beat Nicolas Otamendi and Kyle Walker's poorly-adjudged offside trap before shaping to shoot and teeing up an unmarked Cantwell to his left. He sold the ultimate dummy and after persistent off-the-ball work, got his own reward early in the second-half.

Otamendi's horrendous mistake in possession gifted the ball to Buendia, who passed across into the Finland international. Having netted in successive games against Greece and Italy over the past week, the 29-year-old applied the finishing touch from close-range to restore Norwich's two-goal cushion - a minute after skewing a promising counter-attack wide of Ederson's far post.

He now has six league goals this term and with Norwich's upcoming fixtures, he'll be eagerly anticipating further success in the final third as Buendia and others aim to create chances galore.
