Shock Pick Of The Day: Defeat For City.

20211004_183439.jpg


Manchester City encountered their second loss of the season at home after Crystal Palace pulled off a shock win against the Champions. This happened to be a shocking result and credit to Patrick Vieira who inspired his men to such a victory. Despite losing against Liverpool, Palace had gotten draws in all their 4 matches before this one after enduring a difficult start to the season before now.

Manchester City suffered a hock 2-0 against a determined Palace side thanks to goals from Zaha and Gallagher and Manchester City slipped to 3rd, 5 points off the leaders; Chelsea. Manchester City didn't just lose but they also lost a man to a red card in the first half. Laporte was shown his marching orders which further heaped more misery on City who had to play at home with ten men.

Crystal Palace took the game to City and as early as the 6th minute, Palace took the lead sensationally after Gallagher managed to slip the ball to Zaha on the edge of the box and he squeezed his shot past Ederson as the ball found the bottom right corner of the net.

Just before the halftime whistle went, Laporte was shown the marching orders after he pulled Zaha down as he was about to race through on goal. He was the last man which made the referee show him the red card given the pace of Zaha as well.

It got worse for Manchester City after they thought they had gotten level after Foden found Gabriel Jesus at the far end of the post. Jesus wasted no time and he guided the ball into the back of the net but after VAR check, the goal was ruled out for offside after Foden appeared to be marginally offside. It was a tight call.

City had no chance of getting back into the game after Crystal Palace made it worse for them in the 88th minute after Olise, Zaha and Gallagher combined so well. Olise found Zaha inside the box with a pinpoint pass but Zaha had to twist and turn to pick out Olise who also laid a short pass to Gallagher and he hammered home the shot which came off the post to confine City to a 2-0 defeat.

It proved to be a bad day in the office for City and would have to rally round when they face their city rivals; Manchester United. It's a derby match and City would have preferred to gain momentum before meeting with Manchester United.


Thank you for your time.
