Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland both scored twice as City maintained their flawless record. Haaland, who was last season's league top goal-scorer, opened the scoring with a neat header in the 17th minute. Cherki doubled the lead in the second half, skillfully weaving through defenders before poking the ball home from close range. However, Palace quickly pulled one back when Yeremy Pino's well-placed free kick nestled on the crossbar and then rebounded into the net off goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
