Midfielder Rodri’s strong third-minute volley at goalkeeper Vicente Guaita and Jack Grealish’s attempt that went just wide showed the visitors’ quick start, but City struggled to get past the home team’s packed defence. Just before the half-hour mark, Haaland fired a shot from a very tight angle goalward in an act of frustration and then blasted the rebound wide as his team controlled possession.

After Jack Grealish was fouled on the edge of the box to give City a great opportunity early in the second half, Guaita made a fantastic diving save to stop Phil Foden’s free kick. After turning brilliantly on the edge of the box after receiving the ball from Bernardo Silva, City came even closer to scoring, but Julian Alvarez missed the target with his effort after hitting the crossbar with the goal at his mercy.

Haaland was regularly squeezed out as City looked for space to play because Palace would periodically line up six defenders across the back and use their forwards to block the midfield. After a foolish last-second challenge by Michael Olise, City’s captain Ilkay Gundogan was upended in the box and the game finally went their way.

Unfazed by his extended periods of possession, Haaland took the penalty kick in the 78th minute and buried it low to the keeper’s left for his 28th league goal of the year and 34th overall. An excited Haaland proceeded to celebrate with the visiting supporters after the final whistle after a discouraging evening eventually turned out well, with Palace failing to register a shot on target for the third straight Premier League game. The 22-year-old Norwegian has had to work harder to capitalise on opportunities after a scorching start to the season as teams have gotten better at closing him down, but he is loving the challenge.
