In the 17th round of the Premier League, Manchester City drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace. Jack Grealish opened the scoring for Manchester City and teenager Rico Lewis made it 2-0 to score his first Premier League goal. In the 76th minute, Mateta pulled one back for Crystal Palace. In stoppage time, Foden sent a penalty and Olise converted the penalty to give City a goalless draw at home. In the last 6 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City has only won 1 game.
In an interview after the game, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said: "We paid two points for our decision. We gave the opponent a penalty and we deserved it, which is not bad luck because it shouldn't have happened but it happened. ”
We played really well, we did all the details well, we didn't give the opposition much chance before, we did a good job defending from set-pieces, and the opponents were strong in that area. We played patiently and the 10 players [on the outfield] were chasing the ball, so it wasn't easy. ”
We created more chances and gave very few chances to the opponent, but we couldn't win the game. This also happened against Tottenham and Liverpool. We didn't get the three points today, but we can't do anything more. ”
Rico Lewis, who scored the goal, said: "We were so unlucky today, but we should also look at ourselves and look at some of the decisions we made in the game and reflect on the whole picture. None of us can blame ourselves. ”
