Kevin De Bruyne inspired a Manchester City fight-back from two goals down to beat Crystal Palace 5-2, while Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Brentford on Saturday edged Liverpool closer to the Premier League title.
MANCHESTER:
In De Bruyne's first appearance at the Etihad Stadium since announcing his decade in Manchester will finish at the end of the season, the Belgian rolled back the years to save City's blushes.
Palace found themselves 2-0 up after 20 minutes as Eberechi Eze slotted home Ismaila Sarr's pass before Chris Richards took advantage of poor City defending to head in from a corner.
Eze had a third goal narrowly ruled out for offside before De Bruyne stirred the City fightback.
The 33-year-old fired in a free-kick off the post before heading down for Omar Marmoush to level just three minutes later.
City were rampant after the break as De Bruyne teed up Mateo Kovacic on 47 minutes to complete the comeback.
