TEAMS: Joe Hart is dropped as Nasri starts following Chelsea defeat
MANCHESTER CITY'S Joe Hart has been dropped from the first team, with Costel Pantilimon stepping in.
Manuel Pellegrini has decided to punish the England No.1 for a string of high-profile mistakes, most notably last weekend's against Chelsea that cost them the match, and has been relegated to the bench for this 15:00 clash with Norwich.
The decision ends Hart's 123 consecutive starts in the Premier League and was said to be inconsolable last night at the team hotel.
