Manchester City continue to move.
Pep Guardiola's side may have produced the sort of performance that made the BBC breathe a little easier about cramming all of today's highlights into 20 minutes, but they won't care and they probably shouldn't. At a difficult ground against a good team that set out to make things difficult for them, the Premier League champions ensured that their road to another title is no trickier now after a tight 1-0 victory.
It is no secret that Selhurst Park is seen as one of the toughest places to come, and in recent years it has served as a serious test of title challengers. Edin Dzeko and Yaya Toure passed with flying colours in 2014, shortly before Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool flew far too close to the sun; Palace ended the longest winning streak in Premier League history when Guardiola's would-be Centurions arrived in the 2017/18 season but were unable to stop a crucial win for the Blues a year later when they pipped Liverpool to the title.
