Manchester City still had a brave 'scare', this Saturday, at Selhurst Park, but did not let themselves be intimidated and beat Crystal Palace, by 2-4, thus remaining 'alive' in the fight for the revalidation of the English champion title.

The eagles were the first to score, in the third minute, by Jean-Philippe Mateta, who took advantage of a wrong pass by John Stones to isolate himself in front of Stefan Ortega and score. However, the response came just ten minutes later, with a fantastic shot by Kevin de Bruyne.

Right at the start of the second half, Rico Lewis consumed the 'somersault', before Kevin de Bruyne did his thing again, first, by assisting for Erling Haaland's goal, and then, by scoring himself. At 86 minutes, Odsonne Édouard sealed the score.

With this triumph, Manchester City now has 70 points, which allows it to provisionally rise to the leadership of the Premier League, tied with Liverpool, who will still visit Manchester United.

A result, equally important for the 'injection of morale' that gives the team of Portuguese internationals Rúben Dias (who was a starting bet), Matheus Nunes and Bernardo Silva (who were substitutes used), before the visit to Real Madrid.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, remains with 30 points, so it is 14th classified, tied with Luton Town, the team that lives immediately below the 'water line', before the reception to Bournemouth.
