Erling Haaland scores hat-trick as Manchester City come from two ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

For the control freak in Pep Guardiola, there will doubtless be something uncomfortable about again watching his Manchester City side making life so ...

They will put the ball in the right place at the right time and with the finishing they score. Bernardo cut in from the right before firing at goal and getting City back in this match. The ball had been fully released and Edouard sticks out a leg and it brushes off him into the path of Ayew who scores. He's has his first City hat-trick, the third coming thanks to Ilkay Gundogan's pass, from there he held off a challenge before driving the ball in - clinical Riyad Mahrez comes into the City side as Ilkay Gundogan drops to the bench. City have huffed and puffed but not really created much to worry the visitors. They were 2-0 down to West Ham in the penultimate game of last season and recovered to draw 2-2, then were down by the same scoreline against Aston Villa on the final day only to launch a stunning fightback to win 3-2 and clinch the title in the process. With their talisman Wilfried Zaha ruled out on the eve of the game, Palace - who had taken seven points from their previous four visits to the Etihad - could have lost their nerve going into this but they did nothing of the sort. His scuffed shot turned into a fine pass and who was there to turn it in, why Haaland of course. Last weekend, Newcastle were leading 3-1 only to be held to a 3-3 draw and now Palace have become the latest opponent to experience a second-half onslaught. โ€œItโ€™s not easy to come to a new club, a new country so it has been a good start. Equally, there must also be something reassuring about knowing their propensity to bounce back remains wholly undiminished - and with the hulking figure of Erling Haaland now leading the line, probably even burnished.
