Crystal Palace v Manchester City - Saturday 6th April - 12:30 BST - Premier League Match Preview and MDT

GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-2 Man City (Lewis, 47)​

THAT DIDN'T TAKE LONG!
Palace's fine work in the first half is undone as Lewis is left unmarked in the centre of the box to dispatch Grealish's cross.
The delivery flicked off the head of Ward but Palace couldn't get it away and their sleepy defending is ruthlessly punished.
Perfect start to the half for City.
FPL Assist: None#

Again the goal comes down the Palace right, Jack Grealish clips the ball in and Rico Lewis is the first to react in the middle to put City
 

JACK MUMFORD AT SELHURST PARK 🗣️

In a complete reverse to the first half, that's a brilliant start to the second period!
Lewis has found himself in those central positions a lot as part of his role that takes him from right-back to midfield, so he'll be wanting to add more goals to his game.
He showed remarkable composure there.
Now the plan must be to manage Palace's attempts to break as wisely as possible. If we stick to that, chances to extend our lead https://www.mancity.com/matchday/fi...ace-v-man-city-6-apr-2024?page=Commentarywill naturally come.

Sky Sports' Peter Smith at Selhurst Park:
"The drought is over! It's his mate De Bruyne who tees him up yet again and it is a simple finish after some good movement from Haaland.
"He barely celebrates but he'll be pleased to hit the net after what had so far been another quiet display..."
