Crystal Palace came from two goals down to hold Manchester City to a 2-2 draw in a Premier League game staged on Saturday.
Phil Foden teed up Jack Grealish with a defence-splitting pass for the forward’s third consecutive top-flight goal. The reigning champions consolidated that advantage with Rico Lewis drilling home his first goal for the club.

But the Eagles set up a potentially nervy finale as Jean-Philippe Mateta reduced their deficit courtesy of a sliding finish from Jeffrey Schlupp’s cutback before Foden conceded a penalty against Mateta late on from which Michel Olise stepped up to snatch the spoils.
In another game on Sunday, Everton beat Burnley 2-0 to move seven points clear off the relegation zone in what was Sean Dyche’s return to Turf Moor.
James Trafford had pulled off a stunning save to keep out Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal-bound header from close range but the Burnley goalkeeper couldn’t do anything about the resulting corner as Amadou Onana beat him in the air to head the Toffees into the lead.
Michael Keane, another making his return to Burnley, doubled that advantage six minutes later after finishing off the rebound from his own shot from six yards out.
