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."
