    Fernandinho (own goal)

    Can you believe it? Wilfried Zaha beats John Stones and Fernandinho deflects his cross past Ederson.

    Kevin de Bruyne whistles a right-footed shot just over. You would not bet on City finding a winner here. Palace look spent.

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Sergio Aguero has now scored his 250th goal for Manchester City, in what is his 360th appearance for the club.

    What. A. Record.

    Sergio Aguero

    He's barely had a kick. But Sergio Aguero is in the right place at the right time to poke in Gabriel Jesus' cross and draw City level.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 81 mins

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Cenk Tosun has not had too much football in the last 18 months or so and it looks as though his race is run. Connor Wickham trots on to replace him.

    Tosun's made quite a contribution for Palace today, but will his goal be decisive?

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    You have to admire Crystal Palace. They are facing wave after wave of attacks now as Manchester City press forward looking for an equaliser.

    Even Wilfried Zaha gets in on the act, chasing back to put pressure on Joao Cancelo. Talk about discipline.

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Riyad Mahrez takes a swipe at a left-footed shot from the centre of the box - but it's high, wide and handsome.

    Not the impact that City boss Pep Guardiola was looking for.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 73 mins

    Riyad Mahrez replaces Bernardo Silva. That City fan has got his wish.

    One City fan in front of me is - literally - screaming for Riyad Mahrez to be brought on to try to rescue this game for the home side.... and it looks like he will get his wish. Pep has just beckoned him over.

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    The referee Graham Scott has pointed to the spot but this is going to be looked at by VAR....

    No penalty. The ball does hit Jairo Riedewald on the arm but only after it flicks up off his leg.

    The Manchester City players and fans are not happy.

  15. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 71 mins

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Jairo Riedewald could be in trouble here. Joao Cancelo's cross has flicked up against the Crystal Palace man's hand in the penalty area.

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Manchester City have now had 19 shots on goal. Just the four on target so far though.

    Now Fernandinho pulls the trigger from the edge of the Palace box. But that's well wide. Very unlike a Brazilian.

    Man City 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Almost an immediate dividend from Gabriel Jesus...

    A nice bit of intricate passing ends with the Brazilian smashing a shot wide from seven or eight yards. The angle was stacked against him.

    A cutback was surely a better option.

    First change for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola is going to mix things up a bit.

    Gabriel Jesus replaces David Silva for the hosts. Will that give his team a tad more thrust?

    Pep's birthday is not turning out too well so far. An hour in and Palace are dug in, defending their lead.

    The groans from the home fans tell you all you need to know about City's attempts to get through the Eagles' blockade.
