Manuel pellegrini's men were without their first choice goal keeper,joe hart,who needed 'rest'.This didnt affect city in the slightest as they put norwich to the sword in a ruthless fashion.
The opener came in the 16th minute after some surgical probing. Nasri and Aguero both tried their luck but saw their efforts blocked, lastly by Michael Turner who had the misfortune to see the ball
ricochet back into the net off either bradley johnson or Aguero. It was hard to discern.
Not so the second one three minutes later when slippery david silva put the finishing touches to some more fine work by Aguero to make it 2-0 with a rare strike.
It wasn’t as uncommon as the origins of the third goal in the 24th minute which came from the head of matija Nastasic, his first in the Premier League, though John Ruddy in the Norwich goal will have
felt he could have done better.
Sergio celebration
The fourth in the 36th minute was the best of the quartet Fernandinho , Silva, Yaya Toure and Aguero all had a foot in a
wonderful slick, one-touch build up before Alvaro Negredo netted from close range.
Norwich arrived with their confidence in tatters and their manager in the spotlight
and the opening forty-five minutes hardly helped either.
Yaya toure blasted in one of the free kicks that he seemed to have made his own this season and then after a fine cross by Silva and horrible error by Sebastien Bassong , Aguero got his just rewards for an all-action effort with a fine sixth from close to the penalty spot.
The floodgates firmly off their hinges, Pellegrini was able to ring the changes and playmakers Nasri and Silva, who vied for man of the match honours, were allowed to rest their legs.
A seventh was the result as Edin Dzeko clinically rolled in the record breaker.
