John Ruddy hails Norwich City defenders

Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy has praised his defenders for their performance against Manchester City in the Premier League.

The Canaries kept the City attackers at bay as they held Manuel Pellegrini's team to a goalless draw at Carrow Road on Saturday.

"To be fair I have to give credit to the lads in front of me, it was a great performance and one we had to produce," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"We saw what they were like at their place and it's a massive point. That's the standard we have to set ourselves between now and the end of the season."

Norwich are currently two points above the relegation zone in 16th.
