That\u2019s all from me. Congratulations to Manchester City<\/a> for a very professional victory. Thanks for reading and for your emails. Roll on Arsenal v Burnley on Monday and Bournemouth v Manchester City on Tuesday!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Phil Foden, who is awarded as player of the match, speaks to Sky Sports:<\/p>\n double quotation markFor the first assist, I scanned a few times before I received the ball and Ant [Semenyo] made a good run. Sometimes you try things and they come off, it\u2019s good to take risks.<\/p>\n For the second assist, I saw the defender coming across and just tried to help it into Omar\u2019s [Marmoush] I did mean it, but it was a bit scruffy.<\/p>\n I had a good start to the season but dropped off in the second half and couldn\u2019t find my way back into the team. These are such good players, that can happen. But I\u2019m feeling good, it\u2019s a team game and I\u2019m pleased that we got the win.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Jamie Jackson’s match report from the EtihadShare<\/a><\/p>\n Oh my word. Late, late goals in the Scottish title race, as Celtic score an injury-time winner to pile the pressure on Hearts!<\/p>\n Full-time results: And Celtic host Hearts this Saturday in the final game of the season!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n This is the Premier League<\/a> table, following City\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Full-time: Manchester City 3-0 Crystal Palace<\/p>\n City have done what they needed to do. They are two points behind Arsenal with two games remaining!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+5 min: Palace make a late break, with Kamada shooting into the arm of John Stones inside City\u2019s box but the referee waves play on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+4 min: Cherki is taking the mick now. Twice he is surrounded by Palace players but still emerges with the ball from the tightest of spaces.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min: Savinho pulls up, I think with cramp. In fairness, it must have been a while since he completed 90+ minutes in the Premier League<\/a>. City have no substitutions left but Savinho is going to be OK to continue.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.51 EDT<\/p>\n 90 min: Five minutes added on here.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 88 min: City are beginning to enjoy themselves here. Cherki and Savinho with the flicks and the tricks. Arsenal fans, it\u2019s time to go to bed. Show\u2019s over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86 min: That\u2019s the game, then. But now City also have a superior goal difference to Arsenal. That could well be a factor come the end of the season.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL! Manchester City 3-0 Crystal Palace (Savinho 84)<\/p>\n Cherki with a superb assist inside the full-back to release Savinho, who curls an R2 finish into the far corner. But the assist is the thing to admire here, just a perfectly weighted pass into Savinho\u2019s path.<\/p>\n Savinho makes it safe for City.

John Stones replaces Phil Foden, who looked genuinely back to his best this evening. Stones is leaving City at the end of the season, remember.<\/p>\n Mateo Kovacic and Rayan Cherki are also on, with Omar Marmoush and Bernardo Silva withdrawn.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 80 min: Donnarumma, seemingly bored of this cakewalk for City, passes the ball straight to Kamada, who bursts into the area. Kamada hits the deck in the City penalty area and looks hopefully towards the referee \u2026 but is booked for diving! The Japanese protests but replays show it was blatant simulation.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 77 min: Semenyo, operating as a centre-forward, plays a nice one-two with Savinho but can\u2019t find Doku on the edge of Palace\u2019s box. Wharton makes a beat interception.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 74 min: That is Johnson\u2019s last involvement and it\u2019s been another poor evening for the former Nottingham Forest winger, who is still yet to score for Palace since his move from Tottenham. Kamada comes on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 72 min: Guardiola looks very upset on the touchline. I think he can sense that the game is drifting somewhat. City have ceded control of the second half and Palace are edging their way back into it. Johnson wins a corner for the visitors but then floats a dreadful set-piece straight into the hands of Donnarumma. No pace on the delivery.<\/p>\n Angry Pep. Photograph: Jason Cairnduff\/Action Images\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.35 EDT<\/p>\n 70 min: Sarr is working really hard up and down this right wing for Palace. He is getting forward well but also tracking back to double up on Doku, when City have the ball.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min: Wharton has already made a difference for Palace since coming on and the midfielder sends a delicious trivela through ball over the top for Johnson. The Palace winger, though, makes a pig\u2019s ear of things, miscontrolling the ball and then punting a cross straight over Donnarumma\u2019s crossbar. Eeeeesh.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 65 min: \u201cI agree that neither of the kits on display are classics,\u201d emails Tim Smith. \u201cIf you want to see a beauty, check out the Scottish Premier livestream. Motherwell FC is celebrating its 140th anniversary in a green kit (to my eyes, petrol blue in official verbiage). Clean, simple, and no shirt sponsor makes it a knockout.\u201d<\/p>\n Johnny Koutroumbis of Motherwell (right) battles with and Alistair Johnston of Celtic. Photograph: Zak Mauger\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n 63 min: Bernardo Silva uncharacteristically gives the ball away to Sarr! The Palace substitute bears down on goal, but drags a weak shot straight at Donnarumma!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 62 min: Bernado Silva is playing centre-back now. I\u2019m completely lost now.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 60 min: Palace respond with three changes of their own. Jorgen Strand Larsen on for Jean-Philippe Mateta, Adam Wharton replaces Will Hughes in midfield and Isma\u00efla Sarr on for Pino, who has had a poor night.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 58 min: City make a couple of early changes. Gvardiol off for Doku, Ak\u00e9 on for Nunes.<\/p>\n I think that means Khusanov will shirt to right back and Ak\u00e9 will come into central defence. Doku to his regular position on the left flank, and it looks like A\u00eft-Nouri is going to drop into that hybrid role that Gvardiola was playing.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 56 min: Bernardo Silva is bossing things, as per. Just the last player you want to chase around when City are sitting pretty on a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 54 min: Signs of life from Palace, who are finally enjoying a bit of possession. Hughes wiggles free on the edge of City\u2019s box, feeds Lerma, but the Colombian takes a heavy touch when a better one would have set up a shooting opportunity.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 52 min: Savinho skins Canvot with a lovely bit of skill before Mitchell comes crashing late into City\u2019s Brazilian. Yellow card for Palace\u2019s left wing-back.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 49 min: It\u2019s true that Palace should be wary of sleepwalking their way through the rest of the Premier League<\/a> season. They can\u2019t seriously expect to turn it on in the Conference League final if they spend the next two-and-a-half matches getting battered. Not only will Palace need to retain some sort of form, many of their players will also be sweating over their World Cup places.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 47 min: \u201cI\u2019m having a hard time figuring out which is the case: Is the City attack brilliant?\u201d asks K\u00e1ri Tulinius. \u201cIf so, why has Pep persisted with a worse front three all season. Or is the Palace defence just awful? Then maybe the Oberb\u00fcrgmeister of Freiburg should start drawing up the parade route.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Peeeeeeep!<\/p>\n We are underway again at the sodden Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n Rayan Ait-Nouri and Chris Richards battle for possession as we get back under way at the Etihad. Photograph: Stu Forster\/Getty ImagesShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a016.09 EDT<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in Scotland \u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n This is the live Premier League<\/a> table. City will be two points shy of Arsenal with an identical goal difference if it finishes 2-0 here.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Half-time reading:<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half-time: Manchester City 2-0 Crystal Palace<\/p>\n This is the first time that Foden has provided two assists in the same Premier League<\/a> game since December 2023.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45 min: One minute added on. It\u2019s worth flagging that with those two goals, City are now level on goal difference with Arsenal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Amazing save from Henderson to deny Gvardiol!<\/p>\n 44 min: City so nearly add a third. Once again, it is Foden at the heart of things, crossing for Gvardiol. The Croatian rises at the far post, nods back across goal powerfully. It looks a certain goal before Henderson springs to this right and somehow palms it wide! Remarkable save! Gvardiol was wheeling away.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 42 min: Foden is purring, there is a real spring in his step now. Amazing what a bit of confidence can do.<\/p>\n \u201cWrong way on the prayer wheel, Charles, the other way, the other way,\u201d quips Justin Kavanagh, \u201cand don\u2019t set the house on fire with those candles.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.48 EDT<\/p>\n GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Crystal Palace (Marmoush 40)<\/p>\n Another Foden assist! A\u00eft-Nouri lofts a ball over the top to Foden, who checks his mirrors and hooks a first-time pass square to Marmoush. The Egyptian lets the ball run across his body before swivelling and finishing past Henderson and the retreating Palace bodies on the line!<\/p>\n Omar Marmoush scores a smart second for City. The home side are well on top. Photograph: Jason Cairnduff\/Action Images\/ReutersShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a015.45 EDT<\/p>\n 37 min: As kits go, neither the home City shirt (with the sash) nor this gold away number from Palace is one for the ages.<\/p>\n
