However they failed to capitalize on their control and having failed to find the net at Selhurst, United struck back two times in quick succession via their summer signing and Mason Mount.

Difficult Encounter against Glasner's Side

One more perfect ball by the midfielder drew the defender into the challenge following an earlier superb interception to stop the winger, Yoro had to trip his compatriot within the 18-yard area.

Post-Interval Recovery

The goalkeeper returned in a baseball cap to block the sun from the setting sun however he'll experience frustration to have allowed United to level the score post the break.

Palace were caught napping from a rapid Fernandes set-piece allowing the forward to bring under control and pivot in one motion to unleash an attempt that flew into the net.

Winning Moment

Having survived a chaotic situation when the Dutchman nearly netted again at the wrong end, their afternoon got even better shortly afterward as the Dutch attacker was fouled on the edge of Palace's box by Marc Guéhi.
