Manchester City cruised to a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday in the 16th round of the English Premier League, according to the Hungarian News Agency.
The match felt more like a symbolic rematch of last season’s FA Cup final, where Crystal Palace upset Pep Guardiola’s heavily favored City side. This time, however, the result was decidedly different.
Led by a brace from Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, Manchester City secured their fourth consecutive Premier League win, leaving them just two points behind league-leading Arsenal.
Aston Villa continued their impressive run, claiming a 3-2 victory at West Ham United, currently in the relegation zone, to extend their winning streak to nine matches across all competitions.
The Birmingham club has now won six straight league games – their longest winning run in the Premier League era, according to Opta data.
Nottingham Forest also delivered a surprise result, convincingly defeating Tottenham Hotspur 3-0, a team that will face Ferencváros later in the Europa League, the Hungarian News Agency reported.
