Haaland and Cherki Lead City's Attack
City's attacking players were at the centre of the victory, with Haaland finding the net twice and Cherki also completing a brace.
Foden played an important role, providing two assists as City's attacking movement caused problems for Palace throughout the match.
The result gives Maresca another encouraging performance to build on as he works to establish his style and tactical approach at the Etihad.
Haaland: “We Trust Enzo Maresca”
Following the victory, Haaland spoke about the importance of the players buying into Maresca's methods.
“We have to trust the system, and we trust Enzo Maresca and what he wants to do.”
The comment reflects the growing confidence within the City squad after winning their first two matches under the Italian coach.
For Maresca, the combination of results and attacking performances will be particularly encouraging.
City Starting to Find Their Rhythm
