A superb individual goal from Jonny Howson gave Norwich a 3-2 win at the Etihad to ensure Manchester City's disappointing defence of their Premier League title ended in defeat.

The atmosphere throughout was a far cry from that famous tension-filled final afternoon a year ago. The home supporters, after an emotional few days which saw manager Roberto Mancini lose his job, were quiet for long periods but a few Italian flags and Mancini chants made clear their former manager was not forgotten.
