Man City Almost Crowned EPL Champions With Crystal's Defeat

Manchester City are a touch from their third Premier League title in four years as Sergio Aguero and Ferran Torres' goals completed their 25th win of the season at Crystal Palace.

The City boss made eight changes from the midweek win in Paris, with only Ederson, Rodri and Joao Cancelo keeping their places as Aguero, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling came in.

After a dry first half in south London, Kun Aguero shrugged off his injured legs and rose to Etihad's rescue with a near-post finish.
