Manchester City produced a thrilling comeback to defeat Crystal Palace 5–2 at the Etihad Stadium on April 12, 2025.
Despite falling behind 2–0 early in the game through goals from Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards, City mounted a powerful response. Eze nearly scored a third for Palace, but the goal was ruled out by semi-automated offside technology—a pivotal moment that shifted momentum in City's favor.
Kevin De Bruyne ignited the comeback with a stunning free-kick, then delivered a pinpoint assist to Mateo Kovačić, who scored a brilliant goal to level the score. Omar Marmoush also struck before halftime, giving City the lead.
In the second half, academy talents James McAtee and Nico O’Reilly added two more goals to complete the emphatic 5–2 victory.
The win pushed Manchester City into fourth place in the Premier League table, two points ahead of Newcastle United, who still have two games in hand.
