Sterling’s hat-trick silences the Canaries’ song as ruthless Citizens march towards the new title

Manchester City are as ruthless as it gets. The Citizens are marching towards the second home title in a row and have effortlessly got rid of Norwich on the road with a 4-0 away win.Pep’s boys had no trouble at Loftus Road whatsoever, pushing only as much as they needed to earn another three points, making one more step on the champions path mostly thanks to that Raheem Sterling’s hat-trick.On the other hand, the Canaries proved to be more than a decent rival for the table-toppers despite 17 positions on the EPL table dividing the two. Moreover, the underdogs were on the brink of the lead after captain Hanley launched a meticulous header. Ederson was helpless as the ball was running away from him, but the post saved the visitors.As it usually happens, the punishment was almost instant – Walker did his thing on the right before moving the ball and action to the other end, where Sterling demonstrated his class once again. A couple of innocent touches prior to lethal finishing, thus the ball landed beautifully in the far corner for 1-0.Shortly after the break, the favourites added some more speed to their march, securing the win with 40 minutes left. Foden made a mess in the opposite area, dribbling several Norwich players before hitting it, with the ball crossing the line before one Canaries’ defender cleared it.Relaxed City calmed things a bit after that second, dragging the game into a bit dull last phase. Of course, there was Sterling with two more – header and a tap-in following a miss from the spot – to seal the deal and make a statement. No one can hurt the allmighty Pep’s outfit.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 25Saturday Man Utd – Southampton 1-1 (1-0)/Sancho 21 – Adams 48/Brentford – Crystal Palace 0-0Everton – Leeds 3-0 (2-0)/Coleman 10, Keane 23, Richarlison 78/Watford – Brighton 0-2 (0-1)/Maupay 44, Webster 83/Norwich – Man City 0-4 (0-1)/Sterling 31, 70, 90+1, Foden 48/Sunday17.00: (11.0) Burnley (6.50) Liverpool (1.28)17.00: (2.90) Newcastle (3.30) Aston Villa (2.65)17.00: (1.70) Tottenham (3.70) Wolverhampton (5.90)19.30: (3.05) Leicester (3.40) West Ham (2.45)Chelsea – Arsenal POSTPONED***odds are subject to change***
