Rayan Cherki produced moments of pure magic wearing the No 10 shirt as Enzo Maresca's Manchester City stayed perfect in the Premier League with a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the first half with his first goal of the season, towering above Chris Richards to head in from a Semenyo cross.

Cherki then weaved through the Palace defence to poke past Dean Henderson for City's second. Five minutes later, Yeremy Pino curled a free-kick off the bar that rebounded off Gianluigi Donnarumma for an own goal. Cherki instantly responded with an audacious deflected strike past Henderson to restore City's three-goal cushion. Haaland added a late rasping finish for his second to end the contest.

Despite chances for Tyrick Mitchell and Phil Foden's early misses, Maresca's side made it two wins from two in the league. Palace remain winless under new boss Pierre Sage in his first game at Selhurst Park.
