Scored: Kane 44′, Sterling 51′ and 59′, Aguero 79′, Delph 89′.
Palace tried very hard to avoid a bad scenario at the Etihad.
After Leroy Sane broke the balance with a brilliant tackle just before halftime, Man City became a true destruction machine in the second half.
Man City continued to soar with their sixth consecutive victory on all fronts.
Man City has not yet been able to move up compared to their great rival Man Utd, who have the same 16 points through six rounds.
In the last five matches in all competitions, except for the 2-1 defeat of West Brom in the Federation Cup in the middle of last week, Man City has scored at least four goals in the remaining matches.
There is still a long way to go for further verification, but in the immediate future, Man City is showing that they are the team with the most coherent, sharp and effective playing style among the championship candidates.
In the second year under Pep Guardiola, Man City seems to have shaped their style of play, and become a destructive machine.
Against Palace, coach Guardiola did not put Gabriel Jesus in the starting role, but gave the opportunity to Leroy Sane, and switched to a 4-3-3 formation.
But after scoring twice against West Brom in the League Cup in midweek, Sane continued to prove that he is worthy of Guardiola’s trust.
In the second half, it was Sane who shined again, this time in the role of playmaker, receiving the ball from De Bruyne and then crossing the ball to set up Sterling for the connecting kick, increasing the gap to 2-0.
Palace’s goal became a basket containing the ball before the fierce attack from Man City.
Aguero also previously made his mark in the situation where Man City scored the third goal.
The diversity and transformation in the organization of the attack is a plus point for Man City in this match, when the Silva – De Bruyne pair excellently completed the task of keeping the rhythm and creating.
For Palace, today’s defeat caused them to break another sad record – becoming the first team in the history of the English professional football league system to lose all six first matches of the season and not score a single goal.
