Paddy Davitt delivered his Man City verdict after Norwich City's 4-0 Premier League defeat.
Pep Guardiola's champions-elect delivered a ruthless masterclass at Carrow Road. Raheem Sterling's hat-trick and Phil Foden's close range finish shortly after half-time subdued a spirited effort in the first half from Dean Smith's Canaries.
Grant Hanley's towering header hit a post with the game goalless, and Kenny McLean spurned a big chance to cancel out Sterling's opener, but the gulf was evident in the second half.
Paddy reflects on whether the Canaries ran into the best ever side to grace the Premier League, rues those fine margins and looks at the bigger picrure with another outing for Mathias Normann and worrying injury news for Adam Idah.
