Group Football Editor Paddy Davitt has posted his marks following the Canaries’ 2-0 Premier League defeat against Burnley
Here is Paddy’s verdict on Daniel Farke’s men, who contrived to undo a bright opening quarter with a game-changing double red card.
• Tim Krul
Fine one-handed tip over from Dwight McNeil’s free kick that brushed Onel Hernandez to change direction. Smothering stop from Jay Rodriguez. Beaten by two shinners. 7
• Max Aarons
Roughed up by James Tarkowski. Appeared to lose the flight of the ball hooked home by Chris Wood. 5
• Ben Godfrey
Own goal was not in keeping with his all-round offering. Brought a big save from Nick Pope at the other end. His best, most aggressive defensive outing since football returned. 6
• Timm Klose
Suspected hamstring injury forced a half-time exit. Must already be a doubt for Manchester City finale. 5
• Jamal Lewis
Largely kept Johann Berg Gudmundsson under wraps. Bar the cross for Wood’s fortunate overhead kick from the second phase of a set piece. 5
• Alex Tettey (C)
Goalbound shot struck Tarkowski. Had an opportunity to clear his lines in the moments prior to Wood’s opener. 6
• Kenny McLean
Glowing tribute pre-match from his head coach. Could see his value in terms of defensive workload when Norwich were reduced to nine players. 6
• Emi Buendia
Let Ashley Westwood get under his skin. Needless red card. However soft. 4
• Todd Cantwell
Got a start in the 10 role. Shot on target inside the opening seconds but a double red card scuppered his chances to be the creative pivot. 5
• Onel Hernandez
Pope contorted his body to parry a late effort. 6
• Josip Drmic
Brainless. Lunging challenge to recover a poor touch earned a straight red, and compounded Emi Buendia’s earlier dismissal. 3
City substitutes
• Christoph Zimmermann 5
Pressed into action earlier than planned. Lost Rodriguez for a headed chance.
