What happened. Rayan Cherki scored two brilliant second-half goals as Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 4-1, marking their first big win of the post-Guardiola era.

• Cherki gave a colourful, unprintable description of his first-half performance.
• He made 33 Premier League appearances last season, 14 as a substitute.
• He assisted two late goals in the opening win against Bournemouth.

“He could only laugh at the France attacker's sweary honesty.”

— Erling Haaland

Cherki aims to prove himself under new boss Enzo Maresca amid City's vast attacking resources.
