The reigning Premier League champions trailed 1-0 heading into the final 10 minutes, thanks to Everton loanee Cenk Tosun's opener for Crystal Palace. But Argentine striker Sergio Aguero scored two goals five minutes apart, notching his milestone 250th and 251st goals for Manchester City.
But just as they were in City's title-winning season in 2018-19, Palace were unafraid of a deficit on the blue side of Manchester. Wantaway winger Wilfried Zaha led the Eagles on a counter-attack, crossing low to second-half substitute Connor Wickham. Fernandinho gained inside position on Wickham, but could only put the ball into his own net.

The Brazilian, playing in the center of defense with Aymeric Laporte out since August and former captain Vincent Kompany now playing in Belgium, surely will influence manager Pep Guardiola's strategy in the January transfer window. Sky Sports News' Ben Ransom said center back is the Catalan manager's top transfer priority.
With City now 13 points back of league-leading Liverpool, such a move is long overdue for one of the world's richest clubs. The Carabao Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League are still in play for the Sky Blues, however, and any incoming defensive depth could still help City on those fronts, even if pursuit of the Premier League's first three-peat in over a decade is now a pipe dream.
