Premier League leaders Manchester City continued their 100% start to the season with an injury time winner over their nearest challengers Crystal Palace.
Nigerian teenager Kelechi Iheanacho stabbed home his first senior goal after Samir Nasri’s shot was saved.
After a scrappy first half, Jesus Navas shot wide of an empty net for City after rounding keeper Alex McCarthy.
A well-organised Palace came closest when Dwight Gayle volleyed wide.
Sergio Aguero limped out with a knee injury, three days ahead of Juventus’s Champions League visit.
Club-record signing Kevin de Bruyne was brought on in his place as a first-half substitute, with managers Manuel Pellegrini and Alan Pardew having a heated argument over
the incident.
Palace defender Scott Dann received a yellow card for the late challenge on Argentine Aguero as City spent a large part of the match struggling to create offensively.
The 18-year-old Nigerian striker had previously played three minutes and 49 seconds for Chelsea, in the 2-0 win over Watford.
He came on for Wilfried Bony with a couple of minutes remaining on Saturday and just 54 seconds later was alert enough to tap home a close-range rebound after Alex McCarthy spilled Samir Nasri’s shot.
Having signed for City in 2014, from Taye Academy in Nigeria, he impressed on the club’s pre-season tours of Australia, Vietnam and Germany.
He played five times, scored twice and is now considered as City’s third-choice striker.
