​PREMIER LEAGUE: Man City sub Iheanacho hits late winner at Palace

Man City scored a dramatic late goal to defeat Crystal Palace and maintain their impressive start to the new season.

An enthralling start to the match saw Palace on top with Sakho and Cabaye going close.

Sergio Aguero's injury soon after paved way for Kevin De Bruyne to make his debut, who had his first effort at goal just before half-time which was saved by McCarthy.

A minute later the home side also had a chance but Sakho blazed over as the score remained goalless at the interval.

The Selhurst Park fans continued to encourage Pardew's men in the second half, and an effective link up between Puncheon and Balosie saw the latter's shot deflect out for a corner.

City meanwhile, could not provide that cutting edge and were resorted to having shots outside the penalty area, most notably Fernandinho who fired over.

Dwight Gayle squandered a glorious opportunity to win it late on after Zaha's superb ball, but the striker guided the ball wide.

The 25 year-old was to rue that chance as the Citizens snatched a dramatic late winner in the 90th minute as substitute Iheanacho gave Pellegrini's men all 3 points.

Crystal Palace: 0

Man City: 1 (Iheanacho 90)
