- Very one sided match, but City had a job to do and certainly did it. City much improved from last week but thought Palace were poor, their goal came from almost nothing and they really need to up the energy if they want to get some points on the board. - City will be happy to see Haaland get a couple goals flowing to install the confidence for the upcoming run while Cherki got his deserved start and possibly had his best game in a City shirt. - Player ratings attached.
