HOW GUARDIOLA REACTED

<p>The sumptious finish from De Bruyne prompted quite the reaction from Pep Guardiola, who blew kisses to his star man in recognition of the effort. The Catalan coach has often turned to De Bruyne to produce golden moments and once again his faith has been repaid. City can go level on points with league leaders Liverpool with a win before the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-premier-league-title-fail-beat-mediocre-manchester-united/blt7d05cc32a8b53fbf" target="_blank">Reds face a depleted Manchester United </a>on Sunday.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After facing Palace, City will be keeping an eye on Arsenal's trip to Brighton on Saturday evening and on Liverpool's clash with United on Sunday. They also have a massive game against the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-jude-bellingham-man-city-champions-league-real-madrid/bltf1f1486db566f0c1" target="_blank">Jude Bellingham-led Real Madrid in the Champions League </a>on Tuesday.</p>
