Just when Manchester City are creaking, they find a way. It helps, of course, to have Kevin De Bruyne around. His 99th goal for the club wrenched City back level just when it seemed Crystal Palace had the tools to take down the champions. And after a first half of frustration, having Jack Grealish around to play a key role in goals from Rico Lewis and Erling Haaland before De Bruyne completed his century was also more than handy.
“Sometimes I feel good, sometimes I feel a little bit off with my body,” said De Bruyne, the match-winning maestro. “I try to do the job as good as possible and today I did well.”
