Manchester City’s Premier League title defense took another blow after a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Four-time defending champion City ended a seven-game winless run on Wednesday by beating Nottingham Forest, but dropped more points with the draw at Selhurst Park.
It could have been worse for City after Palace led twice.
Pep Guardiola’s team are fourth in the standings and eight points behind leader Liverpool, which have a game in hand after their derby with Everton was postponed due to a storm.
Aston Villa were fifth after winning against last-placed Southampton 1-0, and Brentford beat Newcastle 4-2.
