Manchester City On Liverpool's Trail After Win Over Crystal Palace

  MANCHESTER City took advantage of Liverpool’s slip to put the destiny of the English Premier League title back in their own hands as Yaya Toure inspired a 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side had received a huge boost when leaders Liverpool crashed to a 2-0 home defeat against Chelsea.
That result put a spring in City’s step and before the first half was over at Selhurst Park they had seized the unexpected opportunity to regain control of the title race thanks to Edin Dzeko’s opener and a sublime effort from Ivory Coast midfielder Toure.
City remain third but they are now only three points adrift of Liverpool, crucially with a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference, and one behind second-placed Chelsea.
