Crystal Palace vs Man City highlights as Blues held again with Lewis sent off

Manchester City's erratic form continued with a frustrating draw at Crystal Palace.

City stopped a winless run of six defeats in seven, including four in a row in the Premier League, by putting three past Forest in the week. But they fell behind early against Crystal Palace, and looked under-par throughout.

Erling Haaland equalised, but a free header from a corner put the hosts back ahead. Rico Lewis got his third Premier League goal - all against Palace - before seeing red for two yellow cards and City had to take the point.

Lewis' sending off rules him out of next week's derby vs Manchester United with Nathan Ake and Manu Akanji adding to the injury list this weekend.

With Man City it's always two ponts lost. One point is better than zero but we're not happy at the moment. We know our situation with injuries. Coming to Crystal Palace is never easy but we have to do better.

When I finish a game and I get a point I'm not happy. It's not the way we built this team, it's not our standard.

We know how tough it is to come here when we have all our squad and we're in top form. We have to do better, we have to react better to the second balls. We have to give them less opportunities on set-pieces.

We created a few chances and that wasn't our problem becuase we scored two.

We're in December. We'd like to be in a different position. If we recover our players quickly we can always do it. But right now our concern is a different one. If we're fourth or fifth we have to look at winning the next game.
