Omar Marmoush was on target as Manchester City powered past Crystal Palace with a commanding 5–2 victory on Saturday, April 12, in the 32nd round of the Premier League season.
The Egyptian international delivered a key contribution during a match that initially saw the reigning champions fall behind.
With City trailing 2–1 in the first half, Marmoush levelled the score in the 36th minute, converting a well-placed assist from İlkay Gündoğan.
His goal reignited the home side’s momentum as they went on to secure an emphatic win at the Etihad Stadium.
Marmoush, who joined City from Eintracht Frankfurt, continues to build an impressive debut campaign in English football.
His strike against Palace marked his seventh goal of the season for the club. The 25-year-old has now featured in 40 matches across all competitions, adding 13 assists to his growing contribution under manager Pep Guardiola.
Saturday’s fixture was anything but routine in the opening stages. Crystal Palace took an unexpected early lead, capitalising on defensive lapses to unsettle the home crowd.
Despite dominating possession, City found themselves chasing the game until Marmoush’s equaliser shifted the tone decisively in their favour.
Once level, Guardiola’s men took full control, carving open the Palace defence with precision and pace.
The match evolved into a showcase of attacking football, with City adding three more goals after the break to seal a comfortable three points and keep their title ambitions firmly alive.
For Marmoush, the goal not only added to his personal tally but also underlined his growing importance in one of Europe’s most competitive squads.
Since arriving in Manchester, the forward has consistently impressed with his movement, work rate, and ability to link up with City’s creative midfield.
His performance against Palace offered further evidence of his seamless adaptation to the Premier League.
Despite competition for places in a star-studded squad, Marmoush has earned regular minutes and continues to justify Guardiola’s faith with decisive moments in key matches.
City’s victory strengthens their position near the top of the Premier League table as the season enters its final stretch.
With several crucial fixtures remaining, Guardiola will be relying on contributions from across the squad — and Marmoush has proven he can deliver when it matters.
As the Egyptian forward continues to settle into life in Manchester, his influence is steadily growing. Saturday’s goal was more than just an equaliser — it was a reminder of the potential City have added to their attacking ranks.
Marmoush’s ability to rise to the occasion will no doubt remain a vital asset in City’s push for silverware.
With form, confidence, and rhythm on his side, the Egyptian international looks increasingly like a player ready to leave his mark on the Premier League.
