Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland bagged a brace apiece as Manchester City won 4-1 away at Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca's side took the lead in the 17th minute courtesy of a header from Norwegian striker Haaland.
Cherki danced through the Eagles backline in the 54th minute to double City's advantage, but their lead was halved two minutes later when Yeremy Pino's free-kick rebounded in off the unfortunate Gianluigi Donnarumma.
French midfielder Cherki then restored his team's two-goal advantage shortly after with a strike from the edge of the box.
Haaland scored his second six minutes his time as he thundered an effort home with his left-foot to add some gloss to the scoreline.
It means that Enzo Maresca's reign at Man City has started with back-to-back Premier League wins, while Pierre Sage's tenure at Selhurst Park has begun has successive defeats.
