• Manchester City got a narrow 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday
• Erling Haaland's penalty in the second half helped Manchester City move within two points of Arsenal
• City goalkeeper Ederson appeared to suffer a wardrobe malfunction during the game

Manchester City moved to within two points at the top of the Premier League table and piled more pressure on Arsenal after a narrow 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in Saturday's evening game.

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland scored the game's only goal in the second half from the spot after captain Ilkay Gundogan was brought down in the Eagles' box.

City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with the win after dropping points from such games in the past and believes his team can still usurp the Gunners to retain their league title.

City goalkeeper Ederson provided another highlight of the game after he was spotted wearing the away socks of the home side because his regular blue socks will clash with that of the home side, as reported by Sun UK.

Football kits' colour clashes are avoided for easy identification of teammates. The Brazilian goalkeeper's act did not go unnoticed among fans, who took to social media and reacted to the incident.
