For thirty minutes, we believed the old manchester city demons resurrected. Balled from the start of the match by Crystal Palace, the Skyblues quickly folded, on a breakthrough by Ismaïla Sarr which served on a plateau Eberechi Eze (0-1, 8th). In difficulty on each acceleration of the old Rennais, the men of Pep Guardiola finally gave in a corner well struck by Wharton on the head of Chris Richards (0-2, 21st). But for a few weeks, these demons have now been exorcised, notably thanks to the return of a man: Kevin de Bruyne. The Belgian offered himself a magnificent goal on a free kick struck at the post to reduce the gap (1-2, 33rd).
A goal that made Crystal Palace go back, which finally imploded three minutes later when Omar Marmoush took advantage of a scramble in the surface to equalize (2-2, 36th). On the return from the locker room, Manchester City will press the accelerator first on a dry strike from Matteo Kovacic at the entrance to the surface (3-2, 47th) then on a face to face perfectly negotiated by James McATEE, launched by Ederson (4-2, 56th). At the end of the meeting, the young Nico O'Reilly will kill the suspense of a nice recovery at the entrance to the surface, confirming the victory of City (5-2, 79th). With this success, Manchester City returns virtually to two points from Nottingham Forrest, pending in particular the meetings of Chelsea and Newcastle this Sunday.
