Manchester City vs Crystal Palace: The defending Premier League champions will try to get back to winning ways when they host the Eagles on Saturday.

After keeping back-to-back clean sheets to start the season, it was rather shocking to see Man City concede three goals (in a span of 26 minutes, no less), regardless of opponent. After Saturday, the Eagles will have already played half of the big-six sides after just four weeks, with tricky challenges against Brentford and Newcastle preceding a visit from Manchester United to round out their first seven games. It also saw Crystal Palace pick up their first win of the season as they beat Aston Villa 3-1.

Riyad Mahrez came into the City side as Ilkay Gundogan dropped to the bench. Crystal Palace are without Wilfried Zaha for the trip to City.

"You have to defend well for 90 minutes, 95 minutes, and in the second half we were a little less aggressive, maybe because we had already run quite a lot. "It's been a really good start to the season. I think we defended really well, we managed to score the two goals and knew they would be a different side in the second half. "We have the ability to score goals, but we are conceding a lot lately. "Haaland was also the second Man City player to score twice on his Premier League debut, following Aguero in August 2011. But it's nice to leave the situation with a good comeback.

Manchester City fought back from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace as a hat trick from Erling Haaland secured the impressive comeback win.

Three games into his Manchester City career, Haaland has three goals and one assist to his name, with Kevin De Bruyne off to a similarly red-hot start (one goal and three assists). City did struggle to create chances in the first half but the rest of the game saw Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva dictate the tempo (City had 75 percent possession) and Erling Haaland was on hand to finish off the chances created for him. After Saturday, the Eagles will have already played half of the big-six sides after just four weeks, with tricky challenges against Brentford and Newcastle preceding a visit from Manchester United to round out their first seven games. The fact that Palace were 2-0 up early on meant that City had even more of the ball than usual, as Patrick Vieira’s side sat back and tried to hold on to their lead. Peak Haaland drags City to win: A header, tap in and a powerful turn and finish. They held out until the 53rd minute before City scored but had Zaha been around they would have surely found him up top and he would have taken the pressure off them.

In the end we scored four goals and that's a really good thing. It's about working harder," he said. We had to listen to the manager". Amazing feeling to score a hat-trick," Haaland said.

Bernardo Silva - subject to reported transfer interest from Barcelona - set the wheels in motion in the 53rd minute. Silva's pass found Stones in the middle, but he scuffed his own shot that looked to be going wide.

Crystal Palace went 2-0 up before Erling Haaland struck a 19-minute second-half hat-trick to lead Manchester City to a 4-2 home victory.

Haaland’s second, which put City 3-2 up, finished a pinball-like sequence that twice involved Silva and a scuffed Stones effort that allowed the lethal 22-year-old to prod home. The referee did award a foul for this and home boos ensued as Palace’s goalkeeper dawdled over the restart. Eze, though, was a reasonable deputy, troubling City’s backline when Palace used the same breakaway tactics. The striker scored a scintillating 19-minute hat-trick that featured the equaliser and goals that sealed victory as the champions came from two behind for a fourth time in their past six competitive games. At this stage City were toothless and required cooler heads than the one Haaland showed when booting Andersen’s. While the referee, Darren England, awarded a foul – maybe against a high leg from Édouard – VAR, at least, might have intervened as the goal appeared legitimate.

Manchester City in the end broke their resolve, but it was an admirable performance by Patrick Viera's side. Manchester City are leaking goals at an alarming rate, and it will be something Pep Guardiola will look to address.
