Pep Guardiola’s side arrived at the Etihad Stadium knowing a win would be vital in our race to secure a Champions League place.
But as we welcomed Oliver Glasner’s outfit to Manchester, a difficult test awaited in the Eagles who won four of the last five Premier League games.
And it definitely rung true on 21 minutes when our visitors took a two-goal lead through Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards.
Determined to overcome the uphill battle ahead, Guardiola’s side fought relentlessly with Kevin De Bruyne leading the charge with a sublime free-kick just after the half-hour mark to half the deficit.
