After Crystal Palace’s draw, Manchester City became the first team in Premier League history to take a single action.

Manchester City have become the first Premier League side on record to do one thing after the 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.

The treble winners were held at the Etihad Stadium once again after strikes from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Michael Olise cancelled out goals from Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis.

So what did Manchester City do in their matchup with Crystal Palace to create history? Let’s examine this.

Manchester City beat Crystal Palace to create a record.

Indeed, hardly many records remain that Manchester City hasn’t shattered under Pep Guardiola.

But this one really highlights how strong the treble champions are when the Spaniard is leading.

All 10 of Manchester City’s outfield players generated a goal-scoring opportunity during the first half of the team’s match with Crystal Palace on Saturday.

According to the BBC, this is the first occasion in Premier League history that ten different players have produced a chance for a single club in the first half of a match.

What an amazing statistic, even yet we are not surprised by it.

Given Ederson’s incredible long-range passing and vision, it’s actually more remarkable that he didn’t also create a chance against Crystal Palace in the first half. Ederson is a player from Brazil.

Guardiola’s team become stale.

Before the match against Crystal Palace, Manchester City had a startlingly bad run of only one victory in their previous five Premier League games.

Runs like that for a top team can undermine trust and possibly ruin the season.

But the fact that Manchester City’s 10 outfield players were so prominently involved in buildup play against Crystal Palace in the first half gave the impression that they had recovered some composure again.

That being said, there is no doubt that the tranquility in the second half gave way to complacency.

Roy Hodgson saw his team seize the opportunity as gaps began to open up; as a result, the Citizens have now drawn their previous three Premier League games at the Etihad Stadium.

The outcome puts Manchester City in a bad position to play Urawa Red Diamonds in Tuesday’s FIFA Club World Cup match in Saudi Arabia, where the Citizens have the opportunity to earn a bonus trophy.
