Man City vs Crystal Palace

A huge blow for the visitors. What a start for the visitors! That ended 3-3, just like the scoreline at Newcastle in their last league fixture. It should've been a City free-kick, not a corner. The hosts do win a corner though. Palace make it three, but the goal's disallowed! Palace took the lead after four minutes through a Stones own goal from an Eze free-kick and then Andersen headed in after 21 minutes from a corner which shouldn't have been given as Cancelo was very clearly elbowed by Edouard in the lead up. A Stones own goal and Andersen header gave Palace a 0-2 lead at HT, but Haaland's hat-trick and B Silva's goal gave Guardiola's men the points. The Portuguese gets the ball on the edge of the box, he goes one way and then the other and his shot deflects off Schlupp into the back of the net! Join us for live coverage of the Premier League clash between Man City and Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium. A ball finds Foden and his cross finds Haaland who heads in from six yards! All over at the Etihad and Haaland's second half hat-trick gave the hosts the points.

Manchester City are likely to be short of defenders for Saturday's visit of Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Nathan Ake is expected to miss out with a ...

"Haaland was also the second Man City player to score twice on his Premier League debut, following Aguero in August 2011. "But Haaland shows no signs of slowing down, even in these early few weeks of his Man City career. But Haaland was lurking at the back post to tap home to see Man City in front for the first time. Gabriel Jesus did not prove to be the answer and the solution was simple when looking towards the transfer market - it was just a case of whether Man City could land Haaland. Manchester City host Nottingham Forest at 7.30pm on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium. "The striker cut a frustrated figure in the first half when Crystal Palace's defenders marked him out of the game. Ilkay Gundogan was offered plenty of space to drive through the midfield before slotting his team-mate in through the middle. "But as ever, they could and they did, with the Norway international already demonstrating the attributes that he is Aguero's clear successor. Haaland was ahead of Joel Ward, collecting the ball with ease and holding off the defender before firing home. "It's hard to look past anyone else for the man-of-the-match award from Saturday's game. Bernardo Silva - subject to reported transfer interest from Barcelona - set the wheels in motion in the 53rd minute. Silva's pass found Stones in the middle, but he scuffed his own shot that looked to be going wide.

Erling Haaland got two goals on the way to the victory, after Bernardo Silva opened the scoring with a fine goal.

Absolutely brilliant in the second-half. Absolutely brilliant performance. Manchester City had to come back from two goals down for the second game in a row against Crystal Palace, but this time they got the three points.

Erling Haaland delivered his first Manchester City hat-trick today to boost Manchester City to a 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace, but Pep Guardiola's side ...

Manchester City in the end broke their resolve, but it was an admirable performance by Patrick Viera's side. Manchester City are leaking goals at an alarming rate, and it will be something Pep Guardiola will look to address. In the end Manchester City were too strong for Crystal Palace, but against a side closer to the summit of the table they may have paid a heavy price.

A fantastic hat-trick from Erling Haaland helped Manchester City recover from two goals down against Crystal Palace to secure a dramatic 4-2 comeback.

After completely being out of the game in the first half, Haaland has his third of the second half! Some fantastic one-touch football in the box following a corner sees Bernardo find Stones, and the defender plays in Haaland, albeit with a scuffed shot, and the striker has the easiest of tap-ins! It's Joachim Andersen who heads in from an Ebere Eze corner from the right hand side and City are once again done from a set-piece! He then showed just how good his turn of pace is in behind and the strength he has to hold off defenders for his third and final goal. It was a case of deja vu for Manchester City in the first half, as Crystal Palace's two-goal lead surely brought back flashbacks of last season's defeat to the Eagles at the Etihad Stadium. City completed the comeback ten minutes later, as Haaland took his first chance of the game to head in Phil Foden’s cross beyond Vicente Guaita at the far post.

"You have to defend well for 90 minutes, 95 minutes, and in the second half we were a little less aggressive, maybe because we had already run quite a lot. "It's been a really good start to the season. I think we defended really well, we managed to score the two goals and knew they would be a different side in the second half. "We have the ability to score goals, but we are conceding a lot lately. "Haaland was also the second Man City player to score twice on his Premier League debut, following Aguero in August 2011. But it's nice to leave the situation with a good comeback. Gabriel Jesus did not prove to be the answer and the solution was simple when looking towards the transfer market - it was just a case of whether Man City could land Haaland.
