In a thrilling Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium on April 12, 2025, Manchester City mounted an impressive comeback to defeat Crystal Palace 4-2, with James McAtee scoring the decisive fourth goal.
Crystal Palace took an early lead with goals from Eberechi Eze and Chris Richards. Eze capitalized on a cross from Ismaïla Sarr, and Richards added a second with a close-range header from a corner. A third Palace goal by Eze was disallowed for offside after a review using the newly implemented semi-automated offside technology.
Manchester City responded with Kevin De Bruyne curling in a free-kick off the post before Omar Marmoush equalized just minutes later. Mateo Kovačić then put City ahead early in the second half with a low strike, backed by excellent buildup play. James McAtee sealed the win by capitalizing on a long Ederson clearance, rounding Dean Henderson, and scoring into an empty net. Ederson recorded his fourth assist of the Premier League season.
This victory propels Manchester City into the top five of the Premier League standings, bolstering their pursuit of Champions League qualification. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace's early advantage unraveled under City's relentless pressure.
