Ederson’s injury time penalty save preserves City’s unbeaten Premier League record after a testing 0-0 draw away to Crystal Palace. Raheem Sterling’s foul on Wilfred Zaha two minutes into added time gave the struggling Eagles the chance of a shock win.
But Milivojevic’s spot-kick was saved by the Brazilian keeper to earn a point at Selhurst Park and leave City 14 points clear at the top,
City had won 18 games on the bounce in the league and dropped just two points out of 60 before the trip to South London.
The draw came at a cost, with Gabriel Jesus leaving the pitch in tears following an injury and Kevin De Bruyne stretchered off after a dangerous challenge from Jason Puncheon, though thankfully the Belgian recovered quickly.
