Manchester City 1-0 Crystal Palace

Manchester City moved to the top of the Premier League for the first time this season after Edin Dzeko's 50th goal for the club defeated Crystal Palace. City dominated a first half which saw their England keeper Joe Hart play on after suffering a badly cut eye. Palace threatened via Jason Puncheon and Mike Jedinak, but Dzeko turned in a Jesus Navas cross to put City ahead. Joel Ward drew a fine save from Hart and missed the target with a header as City went two points clear of Arsenal. Manl Pellegrini's side extended their 100% home league record, with the Gunners facing a tough trip to seventh-placed Newcastle on Sunday.
