PREMIER - Gallagher on Palace shock win against 10-man City

Crystal Palace defeated a ten-man Crystal Palace. At Etihad Stadium, Manchester City will sabotage Pep Guardiola's 200th Premier League encounter as manager.

Wilfried Zaha pounced on Aymeric Laporte's wayward play and exchanged passes with Conor Gallagher before scuffing past Ederson's save inside six minutes.

The video assistant referee ruled off Gabriel Jesus' second-half equalizer for offside against Phil Foden, before Gallagher clinched a merited victory for the visitors with a brilliant finish off the post late on.

In a statement Gallagher said:

"It was brilliant honestly. What a feeling to finally get a bit of luck on our side even though we deserved. To get three points against a team like that away is a great feeling. We can take confidence from that.

"To get a goal early on helped a lot because we had something to hold on to. To keep a clean sheet even though they were down to 10 men is still not easy with the players they have.

"I should not have even been in the box. The boss told me to sit in but I just had a feeling I could get a chance and thankfully I was able to finish it.

"We've been unlucky with results in the last few games. When you come to Manchester City you naturally defend more and work a little bit harder. We were brilliant defensively.

"I thought Wilf [Zaha] was through on goal and he [Aymeric Laporte] had to be sent off."
