Manchester City’s title hopes hit after Rico Lewis’ late red at Crystal Palace
The way things have been going for Pep Guardiola, this could have been much worse. With his side having twice fallen behind to a Crystal Palace side brimming with renewed confidence, the Manchester City manager saw Erling Haland end his mini goal drought with a 13th Premier League goal of the season before Rico Lewis equalised again to end his side’s losing run of five successive away matches.
Yet even if this was another afternoon to forget for the strangely underperforming Kyle Walker, whose mistakes helped Daniel Muñoz and Maxence Lacroix establish the lead for Oliver Glasner’s side, City will be thankful to have emerged with something after Lewis was shown a second yellow card in the later stages.
