Premier League: Manchester City 0 - 2 Crystal Palace

-

Pep Guardiola said many things went wrong for Manchester City after Crystal Palace ruined his 200th Premier League game at the club.

Etihad Stadium

Wilfried Zaha pounced on an Aymeric Laporte error to put Palace ahead and the France defender was later sent off for a professional foul on the Eagles forward.

Conor Gallagher's late second goal sealed the visitors' victory after Gabriel Jesus had seen an equaliser chalked off by the video assistant referee.

Guardiola spoke about the red card after the match: "It could be a yellow card, could be a red, it depends on the decision of the referee. The disallowed goal, I didn’t see it but we didn’t lose because of that."

The Manchester City manager added: "We conceded an early goal, played a good first half but at the same time there was the sending off and the interpretation from the referee.

"Unfortunately it went wrong with many, many things. We didn’t have many chances in the first half but we had enough to score. Even with 10 against 11 we created more chances than them."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches.

Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May .

After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
