Fernandinho: Ederson superb for Man City win

Fernandinho was happy with Manchester City's 2-0 win at Crystal Palace.

Fernandinho again filled in at centre-half on the day.

He said: "We just tried to play our style of football and our philosophy. In the first half we scored two goals and controlled the game but at the end of the game they brought on Benteke and he caused some problems for us but Ederson was superb to make the saves.

"They started to play long balls and high balls for their tall players. But if we scored the goals from the chances we created it would have been a different game."

On playing at centre-back, he added: "It was fine. In the first half we controlled out actions and didn't concede any chances. But in the second half we dropped our concentration but overall we were better and deserved the win."The Premier League is so tough, so hard, so we just try to win our games and do our job. We focus on winning every game. That is all we can do."
