The Belgian Kevin De Bruyne was behind the turnaround in the Premier League match by scoring his team's first goal and setting up Mateo Kovacic for the leading goal 3–2.
For this, he was praised by the home crowd at Etihad Stadium.
The 33-year-old, who has been with Manchester City since the summer of 2015, announced earlier in the week that he is leaving the club after the season and now only has three home matches left to play.
We've been here for so incredibly long. My children were born here, and have spent their entire lives here. It will be different for them," he says and continues:
I think they're a bit scared. There's a lot that's unclear and we don't know what will happen. But it will sort itself out. As long as I can play football and my family is happy, I'm happy.
Halfway into the first half, Crystal Palace led 2–0 over Manchester City.
But then luck turned for the London team. City scored two quick goals in the first half and the leading goal at the beginning of the second half sank Crystal Palace.
City's goalkeeper Ederson accounted for a goal assist, his fourth for the season, when he hit a long pass to James McAtee, who netted. A quarter of an hour later, Ederson was forced to be substituted due to an injury.
