A Kevin De Bruyne-inspired City staged a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to overwhelm Crystal Palace 5-2 at the Etihad and so step up our charge for a Champions League place.
In what was a remarkable, incident-packed game, the Eagles had soared into an early two-goal lead through Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards and saw a potential third by Eze ruled out by VAR for offside.
But, in his first appearance at the Etihad since confirmation that he is to leave City this summer after 10 glorious years, skipper De Bruyne helped spark a quite magnificent comeback.
The Belgian first narrowed the deficit with a trademark first half free-kick before then being involved in Omar Marmoush’s leveller before the break.
De Bruyne it was who then set up Mateo Kovacic a minute after the restart to fire City ahead before James McAtee – on his first Premier League start for City – extended the advantage via a stunning Ederson assist.
Nico O’Reilly then got in on the scoring, registering his first Premier League goal to set the seal on what was a result to remember.
The victory moved Pep Guardiola’s side back up into fourth place in the Premier League table with six games of the season remaining.
