Erling Haaland’s late penalty with 12 minutes to go moved Manchester City within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal for 24 hours at least, on a night when it looked like Pep Guardiola’s side would be frustrated.
City were wasteful for most of the Selhurst Park clash and Haaland himself could have walked away with the matchball. The Norwegian striker had a great chance to open the scoring on the hour mark but somehow missed the target from six yards out with the goal gaping.
But just as Guardiola was about to bring Kevin De Bruyne on, Ilkay Gundogan was felled by a clumsy Michael Olise challenge in the box, leaving Haaland to strike home the penalty.
