LIVE: Crystal Palace vs Manchester City – Premier League

Live coverage and text updates from our commentary stream as Erling Haaland will look to fire City to consecutive wins.

Manchester City secured a victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League, despite having no goalkeepers to note in their excellent performance. Dean Henderson made an impressive save early on from Anderson and continued to display his abilities throughout the match, with Cherki also showing his quality with two goals. Jaydee Convot and Chris Richards both put in solid performances, while Takehiro Tomiyasu and Anan Khalaili were solid as usual, contributing to the team's effort.

Adam Wharton was singled out for his class act, displaying composure, vision, and a range of passing that brought out the best in Palace's good things. Tyrick Mitchell demonstrated tenacity and speed, missing a crucial header in the first half. Eddie Nketiah was lively early on but faded in the second half, while Yeremy Pino showed real threat with a splendid free-kick.

Jorgen Strand Larsen worked hard but lost the physical battle with Dias. Guessand, Gozo, McNeil, Disasi, Mingueza, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Abdukodir Khusanov, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Nico O'Reilly, Elliot Anderson, Marc Guehi, Phil Foden, and Rayan Cherki all managed to make a significant impact on the game. The overall rating for Manchester City's goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, was 6, while Abdukodir Khusanov's versatile performance at right-back earned him a 6 as well.

Ruben Dias was given a 7 for his rock-solid performance, while Josko Gvardiol was rated at a 6 for his constant willingness to contribute to City's attacking plays. Nico O'Reilly's elegant touches and Elliot Anderson's readiness to put his body on the line earned them a 7 each. Marc Guehi's welcome return to Selhurst Park and Phil Foden's lively presence also received commendable ratings.

Rayan Cherki's outstanding dribbling skills and goal-scoring ability received the highest rating of 8.
