Rayan Cherki left fans confused and in stitches after he described his match-winning display in Man City’s victory over Crystal Palace as ‘s***’.Cherki starred at Selhurst Park by scoring twice in the second half, with Erling Haaland also adding a brace in the 4-1 victory.The result means Enzo Maresca has two Premier League wins from two matches since replacing Pep Guardiola after his side overcame some testing moments in the first half against the Eagles.Cherki was awarded the Player of the Match award but his post-match interview with Sky Sports certainly got supporters talking, with the broadcaster forced to apologise after he swore. ‘My performance is so-so,’ he said. ‘In the first half, we didn’t find the space, and I played so s***. ‘When I see Enzo (Maresca) wants to change (substitute) me, I don’t like that, and I need to show them I want to play, I want to score, I want to give an assist to Erling. Sky Sports were forced to apologise after Man City star Rayan Cherki said he ‘played s***’ Cherki’s comments came despite him scoring twice in City’s 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace’Because today I didn’t give a lot of balls for him so next time I want to give him a lot of balls.’ Cherki’s first goal saw him poke home after he demonstrated superb skill and quick feet to take the ball past several Palace defenders, before his second was a long range strike that took a slight deflection.And when pressed for thoughts on his first strike, Cherki showed his humility and instead outlined his desire for the club to have a memorable campaign. He added: ‘I’m very happy for the win, see you next week. Pep [Guardiola] was a big story, we will start another story. We want to prove it and we are here for that.’Enzo Maresca disagreed with Cherki’s assessment of his display, although admitted he perhaps wasn’t playing at his peak in the first period. ‘He’s happy,’ the City boss said of Cherki after the game. ‘His performance was very good, not because of the two goals but how he worked off the ball. ‘He has to press. He was in charge of Wharton when Palace had the ball. His game was a complete game on and off the ball.’He loves football. So it is much more easy to work with him. Then he is Rayan. We know how good he is, the quality he has. In this moment, he is helping the team with his assists and goals and there is no doubt he will help the team in the future.’He was probably not playing at his level in the first half but overall I was happy with his performance off the ball. In the second half, he scored twice and he is much more happy.’Haaland, who smirked as Cherki swore on TV, joined the plaudits for the attacking midfielder and added: ‘It’s been a short pre-season. Rayan [Cherki], five weeks ago was at the World Cup. Game by game, we’ll be back, we just need a few games. ‘We played well, it’s a new manager but we’ve been playing together, with the addition of a few new players, for a long time.’ ‘We know what to do, and we just need to trust Enzo. This is the right step in the right direction for everyone.’On Cherki’s first goal, midfielder Elliot Anderson said: ‘I’m just sat back watching. I see this every day since I’ve joined, him, Phil (Foden)… they’ve got so much talent. It’s no surprise, to be honest. The talent they have is scary.’ City made it two Premier League wins from two games under Enzo Maresca with the victory Meanwhile, Jamie Redknapp was similarly full of praise for Cherki following the game, with the Sky Sports pundit labelling the Frenchman a ‘genius’.’After Rayan Cherki painted a masterpiece – an incredible goal – City started to play and got a real hold on it,’ he said. ‘Cherki felt like the difference because his two goals came at such an important time. ‘He just had such an amazing effect on the game and it was absolutely wonderful to see him. He is a genius, the things he can do with a football are absolute genius.’City, who are still hoping to add more players before the transfer window closes on Tuesday, return to action next Saturday when they entertain Coventry City.
