Manchester City back to their best away to Crystal Palace
David Silva scores against Crystal Palace

WITH the international break out of the way, Crystal Palace and Manchester City both would have been keen to get back down to the bread and butter of the Premier league, albeit for differing reasons. 

Palace, unbeaten in the last three and with the opportunity to leapfrog their opponents with a win, would have fancied their chances against a City team who were fresh off the back of a home defeat to Wolves and starting the game without a recognised centre back. 

But it was City who came away with the three points thanks to goals from Gabriel Jesus and David Silva giving them a 2-0 win.
