Manchester City also failed to get 3 points against Crystal Palace. City drew the match 2-2. This result was unexpected for me. Crystal Palace is a relatively weak team. It was not expected that Manchester City would drop points against this team. Manchester City completely dominated today's match. Even then they can't win. City's players had 75% of the ball possession, as well as attacking a lot. However, Manchester City cannot keep their defense strong in today's match. Crystal palace managed to score 2 goals despite not attacking much. Crystal palace players made a total of 5 shots in today's match. Crystal palace is very lucky. They managed to share the points with City in away matches.
What a surprising turn of events but I must say I'm not surprised because it's not a new thing for small teams to prove a difficult bone to chew for big clubs but many expected that this game will be a work over for Man City especially as they haven't been impressive in previous games. This is this time they are drawing at home and as expected, Pep will be wondering what he didn't do right. It's an especially embarrassing game for the home fans as they were having the lead down from the first half but goals from Mateta and Oliseh changed the narrative for Crystal Palace.
Roy Hudson's side have managed to take a much needed one point from Pep's men to push them to 15th place and even though it's not three points, it's better than a loss that they would have suffered.
