Micah Richards has claimed that the nature of Manchester City's win against Crystal Palace will almost be demoralising for their title rivals Arsenal.
City had to work hard to secure a 1-0 win at Selhurst Park, with Erling Haaland scoring the only goal of the game from the penalty spot in the 78th minute.
The win saw City move to two points behind leaders Arsenal, who are in action away to Fulham on Sunday.
Richards feels that winning when not playing well is a sign of champions and added that City's previous experience could prove to be extremely useful in the title race.
