Manchester City began their Premier League campaign with a dominant 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace, securing their second consecutive win and taking an early lead in the league standings.

Erling Haaland, who was frustrated by not scoring in the previous match, opened the scoring with a header in the 17th minute. The Norwegian striker added a fourth goal in the 82nd minute, assisted by Phil Foden. Rayan Cherki was the star of the second half, scoring twice in quick succession in the 54th and 59th minutes, with assists from Foden and Josko Gvardiol respectively.

Crystal Palace managed to pull one back in the 56th minute through an own goal by Gianluigi Donnarumma from a free-kick by Yeremi Pino. The match also saw the debut of young Moroccan midfielder Ayyoud Bouaddi, who recently joined City from Lille.

This win helps Manchester City regain confidence after their 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield earlier this month. The team now sits atop the table with a perfect six points, awaiting the results of the weekend's matches.
