C Palace v City - 7 Dec 2024 Manchester City FC - Official Website of Man City F.C.

Not the three points we wanted but a battling performance in very difficult circumstances. We will back tomorrow on Matchday Live with live coverage of the WSL clash against Leicester City with the game kicking off at 13:00 (UK). And Pep Guardiola's side are back in action on Wednesday when we face Juventus in the Champions League. We'll also have live coverage of the UEFA Youth League match earlier in the day. Everyone stay safe this weekend with the stormy weather and particular to all the fans travelling back from Selhurst Park. 

We take a point. We fought incredible and came back twice. It's a season to suffer. We'll see what happens in the last month. We tried. Big compliment for the opponent. We cannot talk about the title race when we lose four games in a row and draw. We'll try to recover players. We'll see in the last month. We have to do more games to be consistent. It's difficult in the situation we have. I'm really pleased for the players - they fought and did everything.

The result is disappointing, the performance, we could have done a lot better than this. It is what it is at the moment. We fought, we tried to turn things around. It’s always a tough place to come to, Palace away. We have to do better, we have to solve our problem in terms of injuries. That’s so, so important. If the squad is this short then it is always so difficult for all the players to play three days after three days. Of course, we don’t feel sorry for ourselves and have to fight anyway. But the reality is right now it is just not good enough.

Red cards: Crystal Palace 0-1 City

Plenty of big talking points from that 2-2 draw, not least that controversial red card for Rico Lewis. Kit Symons and Keith Curle reflect on today's game on Matchday Live.

Palace have a corner which City deal with it and as Doku tries to break free, Rob Jones blows the final whistle.

Ruben Dias is an unlikely left wing position. He does really well but his cross is collected by Henderson as it almost reaches Haaland. 

Four minutes of injury time. City still trying to get the winner.

City are still in control but with 10 men Palace are trying to be more adventurous. It could be a wild finish here in the storm.
