What was the outcome of the Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace match?

Simon Thomas 0:03
Man City in their pursuit of a top-four finish have put Palace to the sword. 5-0 winners. Vincent Kompany got a goal early on in the second half. De Bruyne was brilliant. Two assists and a goal. And both now with Patrick Davidson.
Unknown 0:17
Guys, well played, dominant win. Vinny, were you at it right from the start?

How did Vincent Kompany contribute to the game?

Vincent Kompany 0:21
Yeah, I mean, it was only 1-0 after the first half, so it wasn't an easy game. But the good thing is we kept shooting, we kept trying. Our luck hasn't been great really in the last weeks, but today we forced it, we made it go our way. And in the end, a great result at home. We needed that.
Unknown 0:41
Kevin, it's the biggest home win of the season. What was the difference today?
Kevin De Bruyne 0:44
We scored our chances in the second half.
Unknown 0:48
Performance similar then, just the goals went in?
Kevin De Bruyne 0:50
Yeah, maybe a little bit better. I think we created really a lot of chances, but in the first half we didn't make them. In the second half, I think we scored the chances at the right time and obviously it's very important at this time of the season to score a couple.
Unknown 1:05
Vincent, first goal here in almost two years. I can't remember too many better City goals from you. You put me right there.
Vincent Kompany 1:13
It depends. If you talk about emotions, the one against United would always be the best. Pleased with the strike, though? Pleased with the assist from Kevin, so I do recognise that. And close your eyes and swing.
Unknown 1:31
What about the celebrations? Were you starting to wish you hadn't scored? There was a lot of pats on the head.
Vincent Kompany 1:36
Yeah, well, I've got a big head anyway, so I can take it. It's the best way to wake me up anyway in the morning, so no problem. I'll tell you what, I was really pleased with the fact that he set off a good second half. We needed to score a lot. We got the clean sheet. I think the whole team can be pleased today.
Unknown 1:56
Kevin, you were involved in everything, but pleased personally to be back in the goals as well?
Kevin De Bruyne 2:00
Yeah, it's always nice to score. I've not been really looking at it. I know I've been doing my thing, but obviously I shoot a lot of times the bar and the post.

What made Kevin De Bruyne's performance stand out?

Kevin De Bruyne 2:10
So today I have one more. And it's just the way it goes. One time I will go in and the other time you will miss. You just keep trying and everything's going to be all right.
Unknown 2:20
You have hit the bar and the post more than anyone else in the league. Are you very aware of that?
Kevin De Bruyne 2:25
Just unlucky, it's always very close and sometimes it just goes in off the post, but this year it's always been out, but the accuracy is there, it just needed a little bit more.
Unknown 2:38
Vincent, top four a must for City, you said that yourself this week, so how big a step was that, especially with a couple more home games to come?
Vincent Kompany 2:45
Well, it was good. I mean, we wanted to set off this, you can almost say this... Chain? Yeah, well, this chain of home games, we wanted to set it off right. Couldn't go any better, really. Five goals today at home, everyone's pleased. But at the same time, we'll need to repeat the performances in the next two games at home. And that should put us in a good position for the Watford game, which is the last game away from the season.
Unknown 3:11
So one last job for you as captain. Kevin De Bruyne, Premier League man of the match.
Vincent Kompany 3:15
Here you go, Kev. Thanks for the assist.
Simon Thomas 3:17
Thank you. A goal and two more assists and I get 15 league assists for the season. Out in front on his own. He was brilliant. Man City were brilliant today now, Quinn. What was the hallmark of that performance? Was it, as Andy Hinchcliffe was saying, the intensity?
Niall Quinn 3:31
Well, yeah, off the ball. they were excellent as well let's not forget that but I think Silva's role when the game was difficult the game was 1-0 for long periods and obviously went 2-0 he was superb and all that because he was the pulse he was the lifeblood of the team he was the one creating everything he did was so silky but so precise and also you know it was so advanced and it really was only a matter of time before something was going to come off and that they would eventually then open up and kill off Palace which happened but I think what's great there and the guys touching it in the interview is an important set of
