Comments:

League position: 11th This was the first time Crystal Palace had beaten England's reigning league champions since a 1-0 win against Leeds United on 20 December 1992 (the first season of the Premier League). Palace's tally of 39 points from 31 games is their highest total at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1991-92. They had now taken 22 points from the 11 games played since Alan Pardew took over as manager on 3 January.

Comments:

League position: 4th Manchester City had won all of their last seven matches against Crystal Palace in all competitions. This defeat left reigning champions City nine points behind leaders Chelsea with seven games to play. They had now lost three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since 11 April 2011. City had now lost four Premier League games in 2015; the same total as the whole of 2014. They had now lost five of their last seven games in all competitions. City extended their record of failing to win a Premier League away game when they trailed at half-time to almost 20 years. On 17 April 1995, goals from Keith Curle, Uwe Rosler and Paul Walsh at Blackburn Rovers earned the maximum reward after they were 1-2 down at the interval through Rovers goals from Alan Shearer and Colin Hendry.
