Patrick Vieira says the way his Crystal Palace side conceded in the 1-0 defeat against Manchester City was “stupid”.
The Eagles had managed to shut out the Premier League champions and looked on course to pick up a valuable point but a lack of concentration during a City corner in the 78th minute proved to be their downfall. Jack Grealish took the set piece quickly, playing it short to Ilkay Gundogan whose run towards the near post went untracked.
Michael Olise was the first to react, but the Palace winger brought down the German international inside the box leaving referee Robert Jones with no choice but to award a penalty. Erling Haaland converted the spotkick to secure a win for the visitors at Selhurst Park, with Palace still searching for their first win in 2023 and just four points above the relegation zone in 12th.
