Overview
- Manchester United came from behind to win 2-1 at Old Trafford, climbing to third in the Premier League.
- Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix scored in the fourth minute, then was sent off after a VAR review for denying Matheus Cunha a goalscoring opportunity.
- Bruno Fernandes converted the resulting penalty to level the match and later delivered the cross for Benjamin Sesko’s headed winner.
- Handed his first start under Michael Carrick, Sesko continued his hot streak with his seventh goal in eight appearances.
- United’s unbeaten run under Carrick moved to seven matches, while Luke Shaw departed injured in the first half and was replaced by Noussair Mazraoui; Palace boss Oliver Glasner called the red card decision very harsh.
