Manchester City stutter again, draw 2-2 at Crystal Palace
Manchester City’s Premier League title defence stuttered again with a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
City twice came from behind to pick a point at Selhurst Park, but the champions have won only once in six league games – four of which have been lost.
Palace led through full-back Daniel Munoz’s fourth-minute goal before Erling Haaland headed City level.
Maxence Lacroix restored Palace’s lead after the break, and Rico Lewis fired a fine 68th-minute leveller for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Lewis was later sent off six minutes from time for two bookings.
City are now eight points behind leaders Liverpool, having played a game more than Arne Slot’s side.
Liverpool’s derby at Everton was postponed due to a storm.
