For the first time since August, Manchester City have dropped Premier League points. Pep Guardiola's side were held 0-0 at Selhurst Park by Crystal Palace, with Ederson saving Luka Milivojevic's stoppage time penalty to preserve their unbeaten stretch.
City were also hit with an injury concern: Gabriel Jesus leaving the field in tears before half-time. After the game, Guardiola explained that the Brazilian is likely to miss "one or two months", adding that further tests would have to be conducted on the player to determine the severity of the injury.
Kevin De Bruyne - arguably the best player in the Premier League this season - also had to be stretchered off in stoppage time after a tackle from Jason Puncheon. Thankfully, he was seen on his feet after the full-time whistle and later told reporters he was "okay".
Nevertheless, the injury to Jesus has - rather laughably - seen some people suggest that City are short of attacking options. It's also breathed new life into the rumour that a fresh move for Alexis Sanchez is now imminent.
The Chilean, who will be allowed to leave The Emirates on a free at the end of the season, came narrowly close to moving to The Etihad last summer.
