"Erling Haaland sent them on their way after holding out against a determined Palace side during the first half before adding a late penalty to take his league tally for the season to 17. But it was Phil Foden who again impressed in front of the England manager Thomas Tuchel as he scored his sixth goal in his past four appearances to seal City's revenge."
"With 24 hours more to recover after their Champions League victory on Wednesday, Guardiola only made one change as Tijjani Reijnders replaced Jeremy Doku, who was ruled out due to a leg injury. Palace's preparation was hampered by their late arrival back from Dublin on Friday afternoon after an issue with their plane that was meant to be taking off straight after the win against Shelbourne in the Conference League the previous evening."
Manchester City beat Crystal Palace with Erling Haaland scoring early and converting a late penalty to reach 17 league goals. Phil Foden added a goal, his sixth in four appearances, to seal the win. Guardiola made a single change, bringing in Tijjani Reijnders after Jeremy Doku was ruled out with a leg injury, helped by an extra day to recover after Champions League action. Palace faced disrupted preparation after a plane issue delayed their return from Dublin, but Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr returned to the attack. Nathaniel Clyne covered for Daniel Munoz at right-back.
