In the early morning of March 12th, Beijing time, the 27th round of Premier League continued, and Manchester City played away against Crystal Palace. In the first half, Rodley’s shot was saved by Guaita, and in the second half, Foden’s free kick was saved by Guaita. Then Alvarez turned to lead the ball and volleyed it high, Gundogan made a point and Harland hit it. In the end, Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 1-0 away.

Manchester City beat Newcastle 2-0 at home in the last round to win the local derby. However, Nalsen’s winner made the Gunners still lead the standings by five points, making it difficult for Manchester City to defend the Premier League title. Crystal Palace, headed by former Arsenal captain Vieira, has never won a game in the last 10 games, only four points higher than the relegation zone before the game, but they won 1 win and 1 draw against Manchester City in two rounds last season. In the first leg, Manchester City won 4-2 at home, and Harland scored a hat trick.

Although the key matchup of the second leg of the Champions League knockout round is about to come, Guardiola did not have a clear rotation in this game. The two main players, De Braune and Walker, all sat on the bench, and the four central defenders, Ake, Diaz, Akanji and stones, lined up in the defense line; Rodley, Gundogan and B are in the midfield; Grali, Foden and Harland teamed up to attack the Trident.

There is a big gap between the two sides in terms of strength. Crystal Palace directly stationed troops to defend, while Manchester City formed a siege. In the second minute of the opening, Grali made a cross from the left, Diaz headed the ferry, and Rodri shot was saved by Guaita bravely. In the 4th minute, Grali made a breakthrough through a dragon, and then a shot in front of the restricted area missed slightly. In the 26th minute, Akanji made a long-range shot outside the restricted area, and the ball grazed the crossbar. In the 28th minute, Rodley went straight to the left, Grali made a cross on the left, and Aker inserted it and passed it again. Harland outflanked in front of the door and pushed it high. In the first half, Manchester City had 72% possession and 8 shots, but the score was still 0-0.

In the second half, Manchester City continued to exert pressure. In the 55th minute, Grali won an excellent free kick for Manchester City, and Foden shot the free kick directly. Guaita once again turned the ball away. Seeing that the situation continued to be deadlocked, Guashuai took the lead in taking the initiative to replace people, and Alvarez went on stage to strengthen the attack. In the 60th minute, Grali sent a straight plug from the right, and Alvarez turned and led the ball, then volleyed high.

Until the 78th minute,Gundogan was thrown to the ground by Ollie in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty. Harland stood in front of the penalty and hit it, 1-0!Manchester City finally took the lead, which is Harland’s 28th Premier League goal this season. Even if Kane scored twice this round and increased the number of goals to 20, there is basically no suspense in the Premier League Golden Boot. It is worth mentioning that this goal is also Harland’s 10th away goal in the Premier League this season, and now his home and away league goals have reached double digits. Previously, only aguero in Manchester City achieved double-digit goals at home and away in the Premier League in the 2014/15 season, and Harland became the second player in the history of Manchester City to do this.

Thanks to the only goal scored by Harland, Manchester City took away three points with a 1-0 away win and won four consecutive victories in various competitions. In the case of one more round, the difference with Arsenal was temporarily narrowed to two points, and Manchester City will face Red Bull Leipzig at home next week, which will determine whether Manchester City can enter the key battle of the Champions League quarter-finals.
