Manchester City back on their winning ways after they suffer defeat before the international break as they beat Crystal Palace by 2goals to nothing thanks to David Silva and Gabriel Jesus first half goal.
A limp 2-0 home defeat before the international break left City eight points adrift of unbeaten Premier League leaders Liverpool, a gap cut to five – at least until Sunday – at Selhurst Park.
City dominated the first half but it took until the 39th minute for Jesus' diving header to break the deadlock, with Silva finishing Raheem Sterling's exquisite assist just 93 seconds later.
Pep Guardiola's side failed to add to their advantage after the break but it was not for the want of trying in a one-sided encounter.
