Manchester City are playing right now against Crystal Palace which is defending with 7 players and sometimes with the whole team, yet Grealish managed to score a goal after VAR verification. If he was like 1 cm in advance it would be disallowed and that goal might be a discussion subject.
Manchester City are pushing and Foden shot was so close. Meanwhile, Ederson deserved a red card instead of the yellow card he received! He was targeting the foot of the player and he was lucky the attack was in the side otherwise he will get red carded.
Manchester City are playing way better and the full defence tactic of Crystal Palace is useless in my opinion.

Man City really dominated the game because Crystal Palace preferred to play defensive football and they only relied on counter attacks. Maybe the situation will be different in the second half because to catch up with Man City, Crystal Palace must play more aggressively and strive to create more opportunities. If that happens, it could be an opportunity for Man City to score another goal because it will be easier for them to penetrate Crystal Palace's defense.

Any club side playing defensive style against a team as strong and dominant as Manchester city has got to have a plan to score or at least not concede more than they can equalize. No doubt Manchester city will add to the goals in second half which is about to begin.
Grealish may have been lucky to have found the net early but it is Haaland we know that can and should and would have been of better impact to force the defense to make blunders. So bad he is unavailable in the match today as well as Doku who would have done some damage coming in from the flank.
