Why Rico Lewis didn't enjoy first Man City Premier League goal as Crystal Palace gameplan revealed

The Manchester City squad may well have been a little subdued during their overnight flight to Jeddah after they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis scored either side of half-time to give City what looked to be a comfortable lead. But Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled one back and was then fouled in the penalty area by Phil Foden, allowing Michael Olise to score from the spot in added time.

City flew straight out to Jeddah for their Club World Cup campaign and will play Urawa Reds on Tuesday before a potential final next weekend. They could return to the UK nine points off the top of the Premier League.
