FT 90 +4
HT 0-0
David Silva scored twice as Manchester City joined Chelsea at the top of the table with victory over Crystal Palace.
The reigning champions had struggled to break down a resilient Palace side until the Spaniard made the breakthrough soon after half-time.
His deflected shot off Scott Dann inside the area gave goalkeeper Julian Speroni little chance.
Silva then slotted in from Aleksandar Kolarov's cross before Yaya Toure smashed in after a swift break.
