Erling Haaland scored a second-half hat-trick as champions Manchester City fought back from two goals down to claim a thrilling Premier League victory over Crystal Palace.
The visitors looked on course to win at Etihad Stadium for the second consecutive season when they led 2-0 at the break courtesy of a John Stones own goal and Joachim Andersen's powerful header.
However, City's first effort on target saw them reduce the arrears shortly after the break when Bernardo Silva's shot deflected off Palace midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp past Vicente Guaita.
And with the hosts in complete command Haaland took centre stage.
The Norwegian nodded in Phil Foden's cross to draw Pep Guardiola's side level, then prodded in Stones' wayward shot to complete the turnaround.
With Palace chasing the game, Haaland rounded off the scoring, racing on to Ilkay Gundogan's pass and holding off Joel Ward to cap a fine performance, before being replaced to a rapturous ovation from the home fans.
Haaland later said: "It was a proud moment for me and my family and yes I'm happy. Amazing feeling to score a hat-trick.
"It's about trying to continue what we are doing. It was about small adjustments and we did that and got results. We had to listen to the manager.
"It's a mentality that we trust each other and we know the chances will come. It's about keeping going. In the end we scored four goals and that's a really good thing.
"It's a warning that we have to become better, training hard and develop. When we play at home we shouldn't concede early goals. It's about working harder."
He also stated: "Really good feeling. A proud moment for me and my family. We keep going. These games are why I'm here - to turn things around when there are difficult times.
"[My dad] will probably say he had more goals in the Premier League than me so I will chase that!
"In the end it was about small adjustments. We were almost there sometimes in the first half so it was about getting it done. This is what we do. It's a good feeling.
"It's really important to have this kind of mentality and we should get it even more. There is more we can do on set-pieces. We have to keep working hard."
