Norwich, whose relegation fate was validated a fortnight ago, wished to end the season with a grow.

They were regrettable to have an early Onel Hernandez strike prohibited for offside and Teemu Pukki missed a great chance to make it 1-1, however eventually they were swept aside.

Hernandez is now anticipating a break prior to starting the long fight to go back to the leading flight from the Championship.

“We’ll come back stronger, take on the Championship and try to return as soon as possible to the Premier League.” @OnelHernandez23 provided us his ideas post-Man City ⬇

The Cuban stated: “We have actually found out a lot and something particularly– if you do not score your goals, if you are ineffective, you yield each time. That is how it remains in the Premier League.

” That’s why it is the very best league in the world, you play the very best teams in the world.

” We are, naturally, after this season all dissatisfied. We now have the break and we need to come and find out back.

“I am happy now we have some holidays first to make our heads free and then we will see how it will be in the Championship. We have to come back stronger.”
