Manchester City came back from two goals down to humiliate Crystal Palace 5-2 as Kevin De Bruyne puts up a masterclass performance.
However, Pep Guardiola and his boys were in danger of suffering a major setback in their bid to reach the Champions League after goals from Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards put Palace in control at the Etihad Stadium.
The Belgian midfielder, who has been at City since 2015, netted to spark the revival before Omar Marmoush equalised late in the first half.

Furthermore, Mateo Kovacic converted De Bruyne’s assist to put City ahead after the interval, and goals from youngsters James McAtee and Nico O’Reilly sealed the stirring escape act.
Guardiola said this week he was optimistic City would qualify for the Champions League because their “spirit” is back after a troubled campaign.
City had dropped out of the top five after Newcastle’s win at Leicester on Monday, but this much-needed victory lifted them into fourth place.
Pep Guardiola could have been in an even worse position; however, after his creaky defence was ruthlessly exposed in the sixth minute. Daniel Munoz’s pass sent Ismaila Sarr racing down the flank to deliver a low cross that Eze finished with ease at the far post.
In conclusion, Chelsea will go back above them if they beat struggling Ipswich on Sunday, while sixth-placed Newcastle are only two points behind and have two games in hand.
