Manchester City's title hopes took a hit on Saturday as they suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of newly-promoted Norwich City at Carrow Road.
The English champions had not lost in the Premier League since January, but they were stunned by a resolute Norwich side who took advantage of a ragged City defence.
Teemu Pukki was the star of the show, scoring his sixth goal of the season to seal the win for Norwich, while Sergio Aguero and Rodri pulled goals back for City.
The defeat sees Pep Guardiola's men fall five points behind European champions Liverpool, who have a perfect record from their first five games.
"We are absolutely delighted, it is a great day for us, for the whole club and for the supporters," said Norwich manager Daniel Farke.
"I can't praise enough the spirit and mentality of my players because it was an unbelievably complicated week," he added.
City's decision not to strengthen at centre-back over the summer could cost them the title, with Aymeric Laporte sidelined by a serious knee injury until at least January.
"We have to learn from this and carry on," said Guardiola.
"We did not have urgency in the final third that we normally have. In football you can't always avoid mistakes," he added.
