Manchester City 4-0 Crystal Palace
Manchester City climbed to second spot in the Premier League after hammering Crystal Palace 4-0 on Sunday evening.
Joao Cancelo dropped to the substitutes’ bench in favour of the returning Kyle Walker, as Fernandinho captained City and Raheem Sterling given a recall.
A spate of shots from the Citizens following a short corner-kick midway in the first half came up with Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Gabriel Jesus unable to breach the visitors.
However, it was just a matter of time for City who eventually broke the deadlock on 26 minutes when John Stones towered high in the area to head home a delightful ball from De Bruyne.

Newcastle, reduced to 10 men when Ryan Fraser was sent off just before halftime, were abject and could have few complaints as their winless league run extended to six matches.
