The country's champion suffered a painful blow for the second time in a row. Pep Guardiola's players fell to the league newcomer Norwich, conceding a 3-2 defeat.
The start of the match for the "Cityzens" was tragic - in the 18th minute, Kenny McLean opened the scoring from a corner, and Todd Cantwell doubled the lead in the 28th minute.
Having a two-goal deficit after the first half hour, Man City reduced the gap just before halftime - Sergio Aguero scored after Bernardo Silva's pass.
It seemed that in the second half, Man City would dominate the hosts' goal and it was only a matter of time before the score would be level, but the "Canaries" showed character.
Instead of reminiscing in defense, Norwich's players managed to regain a two-goal advantage in the 50th minute - Teemu Pukki, who scored his sixth goal of the season, hit the target accurately.
At the end of the match, Man City's Rodri managed to reduce the deficit, but Norwich confidently held on during added time and achieved one of the most impressive victories in recent years.
Man City have lost points for the second time this season. With three wins, a loss, and a draw, they now trail Liverpool by five points.
