For the first time since August, Manchester City found themselves outside the win column in English Premier League action. Playing on the road on New Year's Eve against Crystal Palace, a side City beat handily by a score of 5-0 back in September, the Blues were unable to break through and were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw. This snaps City's Premier League winning streak at an unheard of eighteen matches. Here's a closer look at the streak.
