Manchester City continues to lose points in English Premier League

Manchester City pressed hard to equalize as Erling Haaland missed a clear opportunity in front of the goal, saved by Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson, while Ilkay Gundogan's shot hit the right post, and Joao Cancelo hit the crossbar with a header.

The visitors translated their dominance into a headed goal by Haaland from a cross by Mateus Nunes in the 30th minute, marking the Norwegian star's 13th goal in the league this season to jointly lead the top scorers' chart with Liverpool's Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, whose match against Everton was postponed earlier due to weather conditions.

Ten minutes into the second half, Wil Hughes delivered a corner kick that Maxence Lacroix headed powerfully into the net, giving Crystal Palace a second goal.

Manchester City once again sought to equalize and succeeded in scoring a second goal through Rico Lewis with a powerful shot from the right corner in the 68th minute after a precise pass from Bernardo Silva.

Manchester City's task became more challenging with Rico Lewis being sent off in the 84th minute after receiving a second yellow card for a violent tackle, leaving the title holders to finish the match with ten players.

Affected by being a man down, Manchester City failed to turn the result in their favor, extending their winless streak in their opponents' stadiums to four matches in a row, following three consecutive defeats against Bournemouth, Brighton, and Liverpool.

The last away win for Manchester City was against Wolverhampton Wanderers on October 20 last year.

Manchester City raised their points tally to 27, dropping two valuable points in the title race that could have pushed them to second place in the table and narrowed the gap with league leaders Liverpool, who have 35 points.

The title holders remained in fourth place, while Crystal Palace sits in 16th place with 13 points after their seventh draw of the season.
