Premier reopened: Crystal Palace-Manchester City 0-0, Liverpool at -4

From +11 to +4, in just two months. City do not go to Crystal Palace and Liverpool can hope for a terrific comeback. On the Monday Night of the Premier League, De Bruyne and his teammates make it 0-0 at Selhurst Park, stopped by Vieira’s team who rekindles the hopes of the Reds. At the beginning of January, the Citizens were, in fact, first in the standings at +11 over Salah & Co: with the tie in the 29th round they reach 70 points, with one game more than their rivals, now at 66. Klopp opts for the low profile and still doesn’t get out of balance, but now the summit is much more than just a dream. And on April 10 there is City-Liverpool …

Resistance Palace

The Citizens arrive easily in the opponent’s penalty area, but without being able to find the 1-0 goal. In the first quarter of an hour, Mahrez and De Bruyne worried the hosts, but their conclusions ended up respectively outside and in the arms of the goalkeeper. Between 26 ‘and 28’, Guardiola’s team wasted three chances: Cancelo catches De Bruyne near the end line, the Belgian makes up a shot on goal with the winger that Guaita manages to deflect for a corner. On the developments of the corner kick, first Foden and then Cancelo go to the distance shot: the former Inter and Juve hits the post, the ball then ends up on Laporte’s feet who, with the goalkeeper beaten, shoots sensationally high.

In the second half, the City continues to have the ball of the game: in the 57th minute he hits a wood again with De Bruyne, who cuts centrally and crosses on the far post. Ten minutes later, Bernardo Silva arrives late on Grealish’s low-shot cross: the guests’ phrasing becomes more and more insistent, but it is not enough to take the lead. The Palace is compact, closes the spaces and tries to sting on the counterattack: the shots of Edouard, Zaha and Gallagher, however, do not worry Ederson. Atkinson’s final whistle arrives in the 95th minute, sparking the celebrations of Zaha and his teammates, now eleventh with 34 points in the standings.
