The 32nd week of the Premier League kicked off with the Manchester City-Crystal Palace match, which ended with the victory of the “Citizens” with the score 5-2. This confrontation at the “Etihad” brought thrills for the locals, who found themselves at a two-goal disadvantage within 21 minutes of the game.
It was a strong shock for Pep Guardiola and his team, who reacted and found the strength to equalize the score in the first half. With the score tied at 2-2, the teams went into the break between the two halves.
The second half of the game best revealed Manchester City's potential, which within 10 minutes scored twice more, putting the precious reversal on safe "rails". The fifth goal for the home team, which closed everything, came exactly in the 79th minute.
It is worth noting that De Brojne, who announced his departure from the "citizens" during this summer's transfer window, started in this match. The Belgian even scored the first goal in the 33rd minute for the locals, paving the way for the upset.
With this precious three points, Guardiola's team reaches fourth place in the Premier League, for the time being, pending the development of other matches this week. If Chelsea and Newcastle win in their respective challenges this weekend, then the "citizens" will lose two places from the current classification again.
However, the battle to qualify for next season's Champions League (taking a place in the top 5 of the Premier League at the end of the following championship) continues for the reigning English champions.
