Manchester City were looking to end a five-game away losing streak when they visited Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
The game was one of three starting at 3 p.m. GMT in the first games of the weekend after the early scheduled clash between Everton and Liverpool was postponed.
The Merseyside derby final at Goodison Park has been postponed due to safety concerns amid severe weather warnings in the Liverpool area and across the UK.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester City
Wideman Daniel Munoz gave the hosts a surprise lead in the fourth minute at Selhurst Park, taking advantage of Will Hughes’ pass to slot home.
It took City 26 minutes to respond with Erling Haaland’s first league goal in three games, heading in Mateus Nunes’ delivery.
Kyle Walker was at fault as Maxence Lacroix put Palace back in front after 56 minutes. Rico Lewis earned City a 2-2 draw 12 minutes later and was sent off six minutes later for a second booking.
The Cityzens are fourth, a point behind Chelsea and Arsenal and eight behind the Reds, whose postponement means they have a game to play.
Palace are four points above the relegation zone in 16th place and have now lost one of their last eight matches in all competitions.
We fought until the end 💪#CPFC // #CRYMCI

Brentford vs Newcastle: Bees win thriller
Bryan Mbeumo’s solo strike gave Brentford an eighth-minute lead that lasted less than four minutes against Newcastle, who equalized when Alexander Isak headed in Jacob Murphy’s free-kick.
Yoane Wissa’s fine run and strike put the Bees back in front and their advantage lasted just five minutes this time before Harvey Barnes, who gave away possession for Brentford’s second goal, fired home.
Wissa sent a shot against a post before Nathan Collins took advantage of generous defending to score the home side’s third in the 56th minute. Kevin Shade made it 4-2 in the 90th minute, moving Brentford up to sixth. Newcastle are 12th after four games without a win.
