Comments:

League position: 1st This became the third time in their history that Manchester City had won eight of their first 11 games in a top division season (also 1903-04 and 2011-12). Yaya Toure had now converted all nine penalties he had taken in the Premier League. Fernando was booked in the third minute of added time in the second half. Martin Demichelis replaced Yaya Toure in the fourth minute of added time in the second half. Aleksandar Kolarov missed the penalty given in the sixth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 16th Norwich City remained as the only team yet to keep a clean sheet in this Premier League season. Following a run of one defeat in six, City had now lost their last four Premier League games.
