Crystal Palace – Manchester United 1-1

Erik ten Heg’s men could have moved up to second in the table with a win, but three points slipped through their fingers late in the game.

Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, scoring from inside the penalty area after a pass from Christian Eriksen.

In the first minute of added time, the home side desperately equalized after Michael Olise’s superb free-kick from just outside the box also hit the crossbar before going into the net.

“Manchester United” interrupted a perfect streak since the resumption of official matches after the World Cup in Qatar. The “Devils” have seven consecutive victories in the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup.
