Match Report
Rayan Cherki was the star of the show at Selhurst Park, where Manchester City climbed to the top of the Premier League thanks to a decisive 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
City took the lead ten minutes later when Haaland outjumped Chris Richards to head home an Antoine Semenyo cross, looping the ball over Henderson.
The visitors could have doubled their lead before the half-hour mark; however, Foden first fired over the bar from a fine Anderson assist and subsequently failed to make proper contact with a header from a Cherki cross.
It was at this point that Cherki truly shone, scoring two goals in the space of just five minutes, even though Palace had managed to get on the scoresheet in the interim.
First, he beat two defenders and slotted the ball into the bottom corner with a spectacular finish; then, following a quick response from Palace—who scored via a Yeremy Pino free-kick that found the net after hitting the post and deflecting off Gianluigi Donnarumma—Cherki sealed the 3-1 win with a deflected long-range shot.
Bouaddi came on in the 82nd minute to help City secure a comfortable victory, though the inevitable Haaland found the net at the near post anyway, sealing the emphatic win.
