Manchester City has squandered a chance to return to the top of the Premier League after playing out a goalless draw with Norwich City on Saturday away at Carrow Road.
Despite Chelsea replacing Arsenal as league leaders, Manuel Pellegrini's side remain two points off the summit after their the 1-0 loss to Jose Mourinho's side, which ended a 20-game unbeaten run and looked to have a lasting effect on a team who have previously scored freely this season.
