NORWICH CITY - Norwich all but end City\'s title hopes

Published on: 13 March 2016

Manchester City could only manage a goalless draw away to Norwich City at Carrow Road and have all but said goodbye to any chance they had of lifting the Premier League. Two dropped points also endanger City's fourth-placed finish and a ticket into next season's Champions League.

Manuel Pellegrini and co., without Yaya Toure and with Sergio Agüero partnering Wilfried Bony up front, came up time and time again against an inspired John Ruddy in the Norwich goal. The draw saw the Canaries take a valuable point in their fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League. The home side could have even taken all three points had Patrick Bamford's shot not found the crossbar after already beating City keeper Joe Hart. 

Despite bringing on Kelechi Iheanacho and Raheem Sterling in the second half, City failed to find a way past Alex O'Neill's solid defensive tactics and had to make do with just a point from their trip to Carrow Road. The draw all but ends City's title aspirations for this season.
