"Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 3-0 to stay two points away from Arsenal at the top of the table. The result marks the fifth win in a row for the Blues in all competitions. Donnarumma started in goal. Nunes, Gvardiol, Dias, and O'Reilly were in defence. Gonzalez, Reijnders, and Bernardo were in midfield with Foden, Cherki, and Haaland in attack. Jeremy Doku was absent from the squad, having reportedly sustained a leg injury."
"In the second half following City's first goal, the Blues were more in control but Palace did have their chances to equalise, with Wharton hitting the post and multiple other efforts that went begging but City's defence managed to stay firm and keep the Palace players out. In the 68th minute, Cherki had the ball and dribbled through three or four Palace players with ease before laying it off to Foden who struck the ball into the bottom right corner"
