Crystal Palace claimed their first win of this season, after they beat champions Chelsea 2-1 on Saturday.
Palace, who are now being managed by Roy Hodgson, had not also scored a single goal before the game.
Yohan Cabaye’s deflected effort gave them the lead, before Tiemoue Bakayoko levelled for Antonio Conte’s men.
Willian then lost the ball, for Wilfried Zaha to run through and scored what proved to be the winner late in the first half.
Manchester City have opened a two-point gap between themselves and rivals Manchester United at the top of the table, after a comprehensive 7-2 victory over Stoke City at the Etihad.
In other games, Tottenham beat Bournemouth 1-0, Burnley drew 1-1 with West Ham and Swansea beat Huddersfield 2-0.
