Manchester City closed the gap at the top of the Premier League to two points

With a 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace on Saturday, Manchester City closed the gap between themselves and Arsenal at the top of the Premier League to two points. With Michael Olise's foul on Ilkay Gundogan inside the box, Erling Haaland's penalty in the second half was the deciding factor between the two teams. While City wasted a lot of opportunities in the open play, Haaland's 28th Premier League goal of the year ensured his team earned all three points at Selhurst Park.

The club of Pep Guardiola is currently only a few points behind first-placed Arsenal, who play Fulham on Sunday. Palace, who are only four points above the drop zone, lost for the tenth time in a row. In the late Saturday game in south London, City got off to a strong start thanks to Rodri, who forced Vicente Guaita to make an early stop.
