Three things we learned from Man thành phố vs Crystal Palace

1. The system(s) worked: It says something that Patrick Vieira’s design khổng lồ counter through Wilfried Zaha và Co. Was plenty good, the Eagles taking an early lead & threatening to make it 2-0 on multiple occasions. But it also says something that finish-weary Man city could go down a man for 45 minutes & look lượt thích they play that way all the time. Pep Guardiola can’t have many complaints about the red card but knowing him he’ll think the actual football down a man was plenty good enough, albeit without that all-important finish. City had 73% of the ball in the first half & 63% down a man. They just needed the finish.

2. Zaha is perfect for the task at hand: Work hard, use your quickness, frustrate, and talk trash along the way? It’s the perfect resume for Wilfried Zaha to lớn deliver a signature moment to lớn his monster Patrick Vieira, who if anything should be lauded for how he’s learned khổng lồ handle his attacking talent after falling out with several, including a young Allan Saint-Maximin, in his early jobs.

3. They vày still need a striker: Pep Guardiola’s not lying when he says City can win without a terrific center forward, but he’s being disingenuous if he implies he wouldn’t fast-forward to lớn January right now to get a traditional option for finishing. Thành phố was still very good down a man, but great chances would be at a premium. Gotta finish then, và Kevin De Bruyne is in a bit of a slump considering his lofty standards, too.

Man of the Match: Wilfried Zaha

Scored the goal, had another taken away by offside, & drew the red thẻ in between

Man thành phố vs Crystal Palace recap

A miserable giveaway caused by a busy Conor Gallagher allowed Palace the chance to go in-front, and Zaha used placement more than power to lớn push the ball past his defender and beyond the reach of Ederson for 1-0 in the sixth minute.

Who knows if Palace planned on staying wide open, but Patrick Vieira’s men had reason to lớn be a bit more cautious now.

It was all about the counter for Palace, as expected, và that’s how Zaha helped deliver a man advantage lớn the Eagles when Aymeric Laporte was judged khổng lồ have dragged hauled him down as the last man back. It was all lớn do, as they say, for đô thị from that point forward.

Palace had a second Zaha goal called offside — và rightly so — moments before Phil Foden’s delightful cross was put in by a leaping Gabriel Jesus from a tough angle.

Gallagher stabbed an Olise cross home in traffic for a classy goal lớn finish the score line.
