Man City’s winning run finally ends

Manchester City's 18-game Premier League winning run came to an end by a goalless draw at Crystal Palace.

To add insult to injury, in literal sense, their key players Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne sustained horrific injury and is expected to be unavailable for long period.

Palace missed out on the chance to become the first team to beat them in the league this season when they had an injury-time penalty saved.

It was a disappointing display from Pep Guardiola's side, but they still extended their lead at the top of the table to 14 points, which according to BBC is the biggest gap in top-flight history.

While Chelsea and Manchester United trail City by some distance, they may see a small light at the end of the tunnel in a title race that appeared to be all but over before the turn of the year.

Palace were rewarded after their defensive grit and off-the-ball energy shone through in an enthralling contest.
