Pep Guardiola’s side were anticipating a tough test against Roy Hodgson’s side who had won two and drawn one of their past five matches at the Etihad Stadium.
The hosts started quickly, however, and broke the deadlock inside 24 minutes when Jack Grealish coolly slotted home after a neat passing move allowed Phil Foden to slide him into the box.
Although deserved, we held our slender lead into the interval but doubled our advantage shortly after half-time when Rico Lewis slammed home for his first senior league goal.
It appeared City were on course to record successive league wins, that was until Jean-Philippe Mateta tapped home with 15 minutes remaining after good work from Jeffrey Schlupp down the left wing.
Then, deep into stoppage time, Palace were level when Michael Olise dispatched a penalty after Mateta was brought down inside the box.
