When Michael Olise converted that last gasp penalty to earn Crystal Palace a scarcely believable draw at the Etihad, questions were being posed of Manchester City.
The draw left them fourth, only three off top spot but having played a game more than Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa. It also meant it was just one win in six Premier League games.
A month on, the Blues will travel to Newcastle United a place better off and five points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.
Pep Guardiola's men have reeled off five straight wins with four clean sheets in three different competitions without arguably their two best players in Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.
