Manchester City roared back from 2-0 down to boost their top-five hopes with a 5-2 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Kevin De Bruyne, Omar Marmoush, Mateo Kovacic, James McAtee and Nico O'Reilly all struck as City recovered with an impressive attacking display at the Etihad Stadium.

Palace had taken control with goals from Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards inside the opening 21 minutes of Saturday's encounter but Ismaila Sarr spurned a chance to make it 3-0 and Eze had another disallowed.

City moved up a gear to level before the break and they secured the points early in the second half. The win lifted them back above Chelsea and Newcastle into fourth place.

It was a game that saw the new semi-automated offside system get plenty of use, interestingly as experienced official Darren Cann ran the line for the last time.
