Aymeric Laporte Given Red Card During Manchester City vs Crystal Palace
At fault for Crystal Palace’s opener as he committed way too early to allow Wilfred Zaha to run into acres of space, Laporte ended up reducing the hosts to 10 men on day. Tormented by Zaha persistently throughout the course of the first half, Laporte decided the only way he could put the brakes on the Crystal Palace man was by grabbing at him.

His last man challenge resulted in him being shown a red card right at the tailend of the first half. Already down by a goal, City ended up losing a man as well, a deficit which was too colossal for the club to cope with.
The side ended up shipping in the second in the second half as Conor Gallagher doubled the visiting side’s advantage on the day to hand Crystal Palace a well deserved 2-0 win on the day.
City’s defeat paired with Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Brighton saw Chelsea extend their reign atop of the points tally. Despite being devoid of the services of Romelu Lukaku, Timo Werner, Mason Mount, Matteo Kovacic and Christian Pulisic on the day, the club based out of London went onto school Newcastle United 3-0.
Reece James was the hero for the club on the day as he scored twice for the side with Jorginho slotting home a penalty to wrap up a clinical and professional performance by Chelsea.
