Manchester City’s trip to Selhurst Park resulted in a disappointing 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace, an outcome which has now left rivals, Liverpool, within four points of what they have accumulated so far this season.
A win over Palace would have given the defending champions the chance to extend their lead to six points with nine gameweeks left of the season to play.
Instead, they were left to rue missed opportunities as Patrick Viera’s side extended their unbeaten game streak in the competition to four.
Indeed, it was not due to the lack of trying on the part of the Manchester club as their persistence will see Joao Cancelo and Kevin De Bruyne hitting the goalpost on two separate occasions.
In the course of the game, Bernardo Silva also fluffed his lines after De Bruyne’s shot was saved, while Aymeric Laporte produced a terrible miss by firing a shot over the bar in front of an open goal.
With a mixture of ill-luck and Palace’s stiff resistance, Pep Guardiola’s side exited London with just a point despite having dispatched 18 shots.
They also made 46 touches in the opposition box to compliment the 74 per cent possession they enjoyed.
Guardiola has now failed to win 5 of his 12 PL meetings v Crystal Palace.
With the Premier League already at its business end, Man City could see their lead cut down to just one point should Liverpool defeat Arsenal in their game in hand.
