    "That was a magnificent shot. I think Sergio Aguero may just have touched it. It was low and to the right of Speroni's leap. The keeper could not do anything about it at all. Yaya Toure is playing well forward now."

    And there goes that clean sheet. Pick this out by the way.

    Samir Nasri, on the field a matter of seconds, gets a cross in and a hurried clearance falls to Yaya Toure on the edge of the box. He unleashes a left-footed rocket which is beyond Speroni before he dives.

    It's Samir Nasri for Jesus Navas in the latest twist of the arm for Manuel Pellegrini.

  5. CLOSE!published at 21:32 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    David Silva pounces on a loose ball just outside the area, a first-time pass to Fernandinho who puts his head down, burrows, shooting space... brilliant clearance off the line.

    It's James' McArthur racing back onto his own line and dangling a leg at it. Somehow it goes over the bar. That had own goal written all over it. This is looking more and more like Chelsea's... sorry I mean Crystal Palace's night.

    Another Manchester City corner. The pressure is building...

    Aidan Williams: Congratulations on the title Chelsea! But even more so well done Alan Pardew. Superb what he's done with Palace.

    Debisi: Full respect to Alan Pardew as a manager. He's turned Palace into a team with belief! No one but him saw this scoreline coming.

    Trent Mohan: Surely Alan Pardrew will be in the top contenders for manager of the year this year, the same as Tony Pullis last season.

  8. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:29 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    Huge shouts for handball in the Crystal Palace penalty area, it's the man in the thick of everything, Glenn Murray. Fernandinho's volley is blocked but still heading towards goal when it taps against the striker's hand. He is lucky. Very lucky.

  9. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:26 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    Martin Demichelis goes into the book for a pull back on halfway. An obvious yellow. Glenn Murray has a volley but the flag is up. For what it's worth, Joe Hart saved brilliantly.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 21:23 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    It is Frank Lampard for Edin Dzeko. The first change of the match and boy does it need to come up trumps for Manuel Pellegrini.

    Dzeko is not happy. Can he complain? A total of 26 passes, just 54% found a City player. No shots on goal.

  11. CLOSE!published at 21:21 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    We have what seems like an object being thrown from the crowd as Jason Puncehon prepares to take a corner.

    A delay, but here it comes. It's an in-swinger and nearly does just that - swing straight in. Joe Hart has to dive to stop the delivery from creeping in at the near post.

    "I don't think Chelsea are going to get overtaken now. City have got to score three goals and they don't look like doing that."

    "Palace still Puncheon well above their weight."

    If you ever wondered how you get the Match of the Day presenter gig, this is the kind of magic required.

  14. CLOSE!published at 21:19 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    A crunching 50-50 between Martin Demichelis and Wilfired Zaha typifies the commitment on show here. It gives Manuel Pellegrini's side the chance to launch a direct ball at Edin Dzeko. He chests it down, glued to him, can he volley? No. A good interception at the last moment by the home side.

    Frank Lampard is lacing his boots up.

  15. Soaring Eaglespublished at 21:17 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    They are a tireless, plucky, stubborn bunch at Selhurst Park but this is not familiar territory for them.

    The Eagles love nothing more than a turnaround and have collected 18 points from losing positions this season - no side has won more from behind in the Premier League.

    With Glenn Murray bouncing from a ratio of one goal in 19 to five in five, the sky is the limit.

    "I can't believe Manuel Pellegrini hasn't made a change yet."

  17. CLOSE!published at 21:15 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    Julian Speroni waves it goodbye... goal... no.

    Yaya Toure's curling free-kick is narrowly over the bar.

    City surge forward and David Silva is orchestrating centrally, he dinks a ball through for Yaya Toure but Crystal Palace are narrow, swarming the ball like bees around honey.

    The same set-up again as Sergio Aguero looks for a pass but Jason Puncheon hand balls. A good area for a dig...

  19. GET INVOLVEDpublished at 21:11 British Summer Time 6 April 2015

    Andrew: All of a sudden the Premier League table suddenly looks rosy for Manchester United fans! What a difference a month makes!

    Sam in London: Man City look like a team short of confidence in defence and attack. Man United will fancy their chance in the Manchester derby on Sunday.

    Hello. Vincent Kompany's number is up, he's going off is he? No. He shakes his head and the board goes down. Fourth official Lee Probert is having words with Manuel Pellegrini.
