That is class.
Phil Foden found the key to the door and Antoine Semenyo beat it down.
And Manchester City break through as so desperately they needed to.
Number 42, Antoine Semenyo.
Just as Manchester City were building for the umpteenth time, I was about to say, if you look at Crystal Palace, they've all got a fixed position.
They've got a zone around them, and they operate within that zone, and that was making it very hard for Manchester City to break through.
You can see how disciplined they are, and it's this here that breaks it.
That beautiful back heel by Phil Foden.
Inventive, innovative, and audacious.
It's a great spot.
He's such awareness just to flick that ball into the space.
Have a look at here.
There's the look.
He's looking the other way when he back heels it.
Semenyo's on the move, aware that Foden's got that sort of quality.
Just gets a yard the wrong side of Richards, and it's a lovely finish.
We've seen it so many times from, from Semenyo just passing it beyond the keeper, and that changes everything.
And you see how much it means to Pep Guardiola.
