EPL current leaders, Manchester City have narrowly escaped defeat at Crystal Palace as their winning run in the Premier League ends.
Goalkeeper, Ederson stopped a last-gasp penalty to save Manchester City from their first defeat of the campaign.
Before Sunday’s 0-0 stalemate at Crystal Palace the Premier League leaders have recorded 18-match winning run.
Luka Milivojevic was presented with the chance to seal a memorable
victory for Roy Hodgson’s relegation-threatened side at Selhurst Park
when Wilfried Zaha was brought down by Raheem Sterling in injury time.
The midfielder, however, struck his spot-kick too close to Ederson,
allowing him to preserve his side’s 21-game unbeaten start to the league
campaign.
It was also City’s first time of playing a Premier League game without scoring a goal since last April.
In the game, City also saw their key man Kevin De Bruyne stretchered
off following an ugly challenge by Palace substitute Jason Puncheon.
Reacting, City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, also said forward Gabriel
Jesus was likely to be out for up to two months after an injury early in
the game.
He said, “Please, referees, they have to protect players. We were lucky against Tottenham and against Newcastle.
Today we were not lucky. “Referees have to protect. We know how
strong physically it is England but teams miss big players, not just
Manchester City. The replay speaks for itself. We have to protect
players.”
