Sergio Aguero went past 250 goals for Manchester City but a last-minute own goal from Fernandinho gave Crystal Palace a 2-2 draw.
Match Reports
Crystal Palace snatched a 2-2 draw in a dramatic finale against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, where Sergio Aguero brought up another goalscoring landmark.
On-loan Everton striker Cenk Tosun headed a 39th-minute opener for the visitors, who looked like holding out for three points until Aguero slid home Gabriel Jesus' 82nd-minute cross.
That was Aguero's 250th goal in City colours and his pinpoint header from Benjamin Mendy's cross five minutes later seemingly settled the issue.

55' CLOSE! Ederson denies Tosun’s effort

63' CHANCE! Jesus' shot wide out

90' OWN GOAL! Man City 2-2 Crystal Palace (Fernandinho)
Zaha makes a driving run through City's half of the field and Rodri and Stones just can't get the ball off him. He squares the ball into the six-yard box from the byline and it hits Fernandinho as he's getting back into position which takes it over the line. 2-2!
