Crystal Palace vs Man City LIVE: Result and final score as champions held after Rico Lewis red card

Goal Rico Henry Mark Lewis

Mateta leads another Palace break, and he has Sarr and Eze up with him. He decided that those options weren’t viable and cracked a shot from 25 yards out, which was blocked.

Mateta is up on his feet now, and he looks to be alright as he jogs around up front. His resurrection started some sarcastic cheering from the away fans in the corner.

Mateta clashed with Ortega inside the City box several minutes ago, and he claimed a foul. The game continued and City refused to put the ball out of play, causing boos to ring out around Selhurst Park.

“Sacked in the morning!” is the chant from the home fans. That will irk Pep Guardiola, and you don’t want to annoy Manchester City, because when the chips are down, they perform best.

It looks as though City will be making some changes soon, with a plethora of subs starting their warmups on the side.

This sets up a very interesting 30 minutes or so, as City looked certain to go ahead for the first time in this match, but it has gone the other way and now they are losing again!

Hughes earned the corner for Palace, he took the corner and he assisted from it as well! It has been a monster performance from him against the champions so far.

GOOOOAL! Palace go ahead again! From the Hughes corner, Lacroix beat Walker to the header in the middle of the box and fired his effort past Ortega for Palace’s second of the game. 2-1!

Palace have their first corner of the half now after Hughes nipped in and stole possession on the edge of City’s box. His shot was decent, but it was deflected for a corner.
