Jack Grealish scored his first goal for Manchester City as the Premier League champion thrashed Norwich 5-0, while title rival Liverpool extended its perfect start with a 2-0 victory against Burnley on Saturday.
Grealish marked his home debut with a close-range effort to double City’s lead in the first half. Tim Krul’s own goal had given City the lead at the Etihad Stadium.
