Ruddy hell in City rout

Manchester City 7 Norwich 0

The size, and manner, of the defeat places more pressure and speculation upon the Norwich’s Chris Hughton, reportedly already on shaky ground with chief executive David McNally who, tellingly, cancelled his own twitter account to avoid his customary interaction with fans post-match.

Meanwhile, the England manager Roy Hodgson, who may have to seek a new starting goalkeeper himself should Hart face an extended spell out of the City side, will not have taken encouragement from the display of one of his potential replacements, Norwich’s John Ruddy.
