Manchester City maintained their title challenge in ruthless fashion as Kevin de Bruyne contributed to three goals in a victory over Crystal Palace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an entertaining encounter, Palace stunned City with an early opener from Jean-Philippe Mateta, before De Bruyne\u2019s wonderful finish pulled the visitors level in the first half.<\/p>\n

Mateta raced on to a pass from Adam Wharton and slotted the ball inside the far corner in only the third minute as noise erupted from the stands at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n

But De Bruyne\u2019s curling effort was a sublime equaliser just 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Palace\u2019s Jordan Ayew struck the crossbar as Oliver Glasner\u2019s side showed plenty of attacking threat but they were undone in the second half as City were clinical.<\/p>\n

Having earlier made a crucial stop to deny Erling Haaland finishing off a clever De Bruyne through-ball, home goalkeeper Dean Henderson was unable to block Rico Lewis\u2019 strike within two minutes of the second half.<\/p>\n

The defending champions then took control as De Bruyne teed up Haaland again and this time the Norwegian striker finished, before the Belgian added a fourth \u2013 his 100th goal for the club \u2013 with a ferocious first-time shot.<\/p>\n

Substitute Odsonne Edouard slotted in a late consolation for Palace, who ended brightly.<\/p>\n

But this was another crucial victory for Pep Guardiola\u2019s side in an enthralling three-way title race.<\/p>\n

City moved level on points with leaders Liverpool, who visit Manchester United on Sunday, while Arsenal face Brighton away later on Saturday.<\/p>\n
