Crystal Palace vs Man City, player ratings: Benjamin Mendy and Sergio Aguero disappoint despite victory

Manchester City beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park to put the pressure back on Liverpool in the title race.

With Liverpool playing Chelsea later this afternoon, City needed all three points to keep pace with Jurgen Klopp's side and they delivered a confident performance.

Raheem Sterling scored twice as City pulled away from Palace, but they were given a late scare when Luka Milivojevic fired home a free-kick for the hosts.

However, Gabriel Jesus made sure of all three points in the final moments to send City top of the table. 

Pep Guardiola could be seen punching the air on the touchline, showing just what a crucial result this was for the champions.

Take a look through the gallery above to see how every player rated.
