Vincent Kompany believes Crystal Palace win is big step towards top four finish for Manchester City as he praises 'wizard' David Silva

Vincent Kompany felt Manchester City had taken a huge step towards Champions League qualification after thrashing Crystal Palace 5-0 on Saturday.

City tightened their grip on one of the Premier League's top four places with as convincing a performance as they have produced under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium.

Their battle with Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal for the third and fourth spots remains a tight one but, with three games to play, they have points on the board and a healthier goal difference.
