I can't fathom what's happening with Mancity anymore; they keep dropping points. Mancity surged ahead, leading by two goals and seemingly securing the win, but then, Crystal Palace equalized in the final minutes. To be fair, Mancity dominated almost the entire match, but in the last 15 minutes of the half, they lost what was almost a precious victory for them at the moment.
Perhaps the most regrettable was the perplexing foul by Foden, leading to a penalty in the final added minutes. It was an unbelievable ending because Palace hardly created any dangerous opportunities throughout the game. This outcome really puts Mancity in a tough spot in the championship race as they are currently trailing Liverpool by 3 points, having played one more match.

Manchester City didn't have any problem with scoring goals. But this time the problem was with defending their goal post. They got ahead by 2-0 against a much smaller opponent at their home stadium but couldn't maintain this advantage in the second half. There was a huge difference between their effort in the first and second halves.
Roy Hodgson was smiling at Guardiola in some part of the match after Guardiola got really frustrated. Guardiola was really desperate about this comeback by their opponent. People showed Rodri's absence as one of the biggest reasons for Manchester City's not being able to do anything against Aston Villa before.
But now we clearly see that it isn't actually due to the absence of only one player.
Well I'd say that those periods were times that City had her ups and downs, they're still yet to get back into the usual expected form because they also had a share of points at home to Crystal Palace which is definitely so unlike the normal City everyone knows. Hopefully with time, they'd be out of the shit hole and would then do better.
