Manchester City have secured their place in the Premier League title race after defeating Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday evening.
The victory was a significant blow to Palace's hopes of avoiding relegation, as they were already mathematically eliminated from the top flight following their defeat by Wolves earlier in the week.
City dominated possession throughout the game and took the lead early on through Leroy Sane's clinical finish. The German forward continued his impressive form this season, netting four goals in his last five appearances for the club.
Sane's goal was followed up by a stunning strike from Gabriel Jesus, who rifled home a powerful shot from outside the box to extend City's lead. Jesus has been one of the standout performers for City this season, scoring 15 goals in all competitions so far.
In addition to Sane and Jesus, City also enjoyed some excellent individual performances from Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva. The duo combined well to set up Jesus' goal, while Sterling had another fine display, contributing to City's attacking play.
Palace manager Roy Hodgson will be disappointed with the result, but he will take heart from the fact that his team did not give up and fought until the final whistle. However, City's victory is a reminder of just how strong they are and what they can achieve when they click together.
Overall, Manchester City have shown why they are one of the best teams in the world this season. They have scored 62 goals in 28 games, which is more than any other team in the league, and they continue to dominate matches.
With three games remaining in the season, it looks like Manchester City will be challenging for the Premier League title once again. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain their momentum and secure the title with a win against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
