هالاند وشيركي يدفعان سيتي في تجاوزين بالاس في أداء مقنع خارج الأرض

Manchester City produced a commanding performance at Selhurst Park to secure a comprehensive 1-4 away win over Crystal Palace. Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 17th minute, giving the visitors an early foothold in the match. Crystal Palace struggled to respond, and their evening unraveled when goalkeeper Gianluca Donnarumma turned the ball into his own net at the 56-minute mark, extending City's advantage.

Romain Cherki then took centre stage with two clinical finishes. The winger struck in the 54th minute before adding a second just five minutes later in the 59th, putting the contest beyond doubt. Cherki's performance caught the eye despite receiving a yellow card for his troubles in the 33rd minute. Everson Anderson was also cautioned for City, while Palace's Aymeric Khalaili saw yellow late on.

The hosts never threatened a genuine comeback, leaving City to coast through the closing stages. This away victory underlined the visitors' attacking quality and consistency, with the 1-4 scoreline reflecting their control throughout the encounter. Palace's defeat came despite playing in front of their own supporters, with Donnarumma's own goal in the 56th minute proving a turning point in City's favour.
