If Manchester City threw the kitchen sink at Crystal Palace to try to get a goal on Monday night, their opponents went above and beyond to keep them out.
Conor Gallagher continued his impressive form this season by running more than he has ever done in the Premier League - an almighty 12.5km across the 90 minutes - in order to harry City at every opportunity. No wonder he said in his post-match interview that he couldn't feel his legs after such a mammoth effort.
Running was at the heart of Patrick Vieira's gameplan that he had put together as he looked to stifle City, and he joked afterwards that Gallagher and his other midfielders maybe needed an extra day of recovery after the shift they put in. Palace excelled themselves in order to claim their point.
