Match Report

Michael Olise's 95th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot earned Crystal Palace a 2-2 draw at Manchester City, denting their hosts' title hopes with a third consecutive home draw.

Olise stepped up from 12 yards to send Ederson the wrong way after Jean-Philippe Mateta was fouled by a clumsy Phil Foden challenge, as City were denied their first home league victory since November 4.

They had looked home and hosed nine minutes into the second half after Rico Lewis' first Premier League goal handed them a two-goal lead, adding to a fine strike from Jack Grealish midway through the opening period.

Mateta ignited hopes of a grandstand finish with a quarter of an hour remaining when he slid in to turn home Jeffrey Schlupp's cross from close range.

But it wasn't until the Frenchman was caught by Foden deep into added time that they looked like continuing their fine recent run at the Etihad, when Paul Tierney pointed to the spot and Olise retained his composure to deal City another blow in the title race.

With Pep Guardiola's side now heading off to the Middle East for the Club World Cup, they could find themselves 12 points off the top of the table by the time they face Everton in their next Premier League game on December 27.

Michael Olise scored a dramatic stoppage time penalty as Crystal Palace fought back from two goals down to secure a draw against Manchester City.

Man City looked on course for all three points after goals from Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis.

Palace pulled a goal back against the run out play through Jean-Philippe Mateta, before the visitors snatched a point from the spot in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
