Suarez, Sturridge sink Palace as Man City hit back

Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge tore Crystal Palace apart to send Liverpool top of the Premier League with a 3-1 victory on Saturday as Manchester City bounced back from their Bayern Munich mauling by beating Everton 3-1.
Suarez, making his first Anfield appearance of the season after completing a suspension for biting an opponent, set Liverpool on their way to their fifth league win with an early improvised finish.
England forward Sturridge, who has now scored or assisted 16 goals in his last 11 league appearances, made it two with a fine solo goal and Steven Gerrard added a penalty - his 99th league goal - before halftime against struggling Palace.
In the early kickoff at the Etihad Stadium, Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero scored to help City come from behind to beat Everton, easing the disappointment of their home defeat by Bayern in the Champions League on Wednesday.
French striker Loic Remy gave Newcastle United's under-pressure manager Alan Pardew some relief by netting twice in a 2-1 victory at Cardiff City.
Fulham did the same for manager Martin Jol, edging past Stoke City 1-0 with Darren Bent's 83rd-minute winner, while Hull City and Aston Villa played out a goalless draw at the KC Stadium.
Champions Manchester United will be aiming to avoid a third successive league defeat when they face Sunderland in Saturday's late kickoff.
Liverpool lead the way with 16 points, one ahead of Arsenal and three in front of City and Tottenham Hotspur. Everton dropped to fifth with 12 points.
Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, who are sixth, all play on Sunday.
SLIDING HOME
Suarez, who went on the pitch ahead of kickoff at Anfield cradling his new-born son Benjamin, put Liverpool in front on 13 minutes, receiving Jose Enrique's cutback and sliding home a finish despite lying on the turf after losing his balance.
It was his second goal in as many games in the wake of his suspension for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic last season.
Four minutes later Sturridge toyed with Palace defender Damien Delaney before firing a shot across goal and past keeper Julian Speroni.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers told the BBC: "(Suarez and Sturridge) were exceptional today. Their combination play was outstanding and they are right up there with the best in this league."
Gerrard converted from the spot in the 38th minute after Dean Moxey had held back Raheem Sterling.
Palace fans might have been fearing a repeat of their 9-0 defeat at Anfield in 1989 but Victor Moses hit the post and the home side spurned several other chances to increase manager Ian Holloway's troubles.
The travelling support even had something to cheer late on when Dwight Gayle nodded a 77th-minute consolation.
City manager Manuel Pelligrini showed faith in Joe Hart despite the England keeper's costly mistakes in the Bayern defeat.
Yet Hart tested his manager's patience again as City went one down after 16 minutes.
The keeper got a hand to Everton striker Romelu Lukaku's low left-foot shot but it was not strong enough and the ball kicked up off the surface and high into the net.
It took just a minute for City to find an equaliser, Yaya Toure working an angle on the edge of the box to find Negredo's run and the Spaniard slipping his shot beneath keeper Tim Howard.
The goal lifted City. Aguero wasted a simple chance from six metres but he made amends just before the interval.
David Silva fed the Argentine on the right of the area and the striker worked a metre of space before shooting low past Howard into the far corner.
City got their third when Pablo Zabaleta was impeded by Seamus Coleman and Howard tipped Aguero's penalty on to the post only for the ball to bounce back, hit the keeper on the head and roll into the net for an own goal.
'FOOTBALL DISASTER'
Pellegrini told BT Sport: "Equalising immediately was important but more important was the character of the team ... After the defeat on Wednesday it was important for me to see how the players reacted."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez, contemplating his side's first league defeat of the season, said: "I thought the penalty awarded is a football disaster.
"(Referee) Jon Moss needs to watch it again and see why he gave it. If you are going to give a penalty for that it is going to make the game very difficult."
In Cardiff, two well-taken Remy strikes put Newcastle in control by halftime.
First he rifled home after collecting possession 40 metres out in the 30th minute and eight minutes later Remy put away the rebound after Papiss Cisse's shot had been saved.
But Pardew and Newcastle were left sweating on the three points after Peter Odemwingie pulled one back for Cardiff on 58 minutes.
Bent's intervention at Craven Cottage - after Stoke had dominated much of the contest - gave Fulham their first win at home since April and lifted Jol's team out of the bottom three.
