Manchester City 2-2 Crystal Palace: City drop MORE points! Fernandinho nets last-minute OWN GOAL after Sergio Aguero thought he had pulled off a stunning late comeback with brace following Cenk Tosun's first strike for visitors

All that partying with Instagram models may have left Manchester City’s players short of puff at the wrong moment.

Having roused themselves from an early setback against Crystal Palace to lead with a couple of Sergio Aguero goals, nobody in a blue shirt could keep up with Wilfried Zaha in the last minute of normal time.

When the Palace winger reached the byline and crossed, Fernandinho could only stick out a tired leg to divert the ball past his own goalkeeper, Ederson.

It meant another miserable home result for City against Palace, who were the only visiting team to win at The Etihad last season, and on his 49th birthday Guardiola found his side 13 points behind Liverpool having played a couple of games more.
