City dominated possession as Palace defended like Spartans before hitting on the break.

But there was controversy when Henderson handled the ball outside his box, narrowly avoiding a red card thanks to a VAR review.

He then saved a penalty from Omar Marmoush just moments later.

And Henderson then delighted commentator John Murray when he donned a surprise baseball cap to block out the sun during the second half.
