Erling Haaland scored twice, including a late penalty for his 17th league goal of the season, as Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 3-0 at Selhurst Park to stretch their winning run to five matches and intensify the Premier League title race. After avenging their FA Cup final loss to Palace and following up a midweek Champions League victory over Real Madrid, City moved within two points of leaders Arsenal, with Pep Guardiola praising Rúben Dias’s leadership in defense and Haaland playfully thanking Palace on Snapchat for a "lovely cold shower."
