    Manchester City dropped more points on Saturday afternoon as Crystal Palace battled back from two goals down to earn one point at the Etihad.

    City were two goals to the good – after Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis had both found the net – before Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled Palace back into the game. It was the Eagles' first shot on target, and they would level the game with their second.

    Phil Foden caught Mateta late, deep into injury time, with Palace being awarded a penalty. Michael Olise tucked the ball home from the spot – seeing City drop more points, and some fans have started to call for Pep Guardiola's head.

    "Pep out Is actually starting to make sense," one fan admitted. While a second fumed: "Enough is enough. Get Pep Guardiola out of my club!"

    "S*** result…. but those saying Pep out. Please f*** off," a third shared. And another added: "I fear the worst for Pep. Just hope he does not lose the dressing room as he has emphasised many times before, the moment he starts to lose the dressing room he's taking the next train home…"

    City have now won just one of their last six Premier League games – with that win coming against Luton Town earlier this month. However, only Aston Villa have beaten Guardiola's side during that period.

    Tottenham, Chelsea and now Palace have all managed to grab late equalisers against City – with Chelsea and Palace's both coming from the spot. While Liverpool's leveller came in the 80th minute.

    City are currently fourth in the Prem, three points of pace setters Liverpool, but they could drop out of the top four if Spurs beat Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday.
