Manchester United managed to play terribly and win at Selhurst Park on Monday night, with Jose Mourinho turning the game around with his second half substitutions.
The Red Devils went 2-0 down to Palace, who were resilient at the back and patient in countering United’s attacks, before a Chris Smalling header put them back in contention.
Romelu Lukaku found the back of the net from a very tricky position for the equaliser as United mounted some serious pressure on the Eagles, but were almost pegged back to 3-2 moments later – saved by the phenomenal David de Gea, who got down low to a header from inside 10 yards.
The game looked set to go down as a draw, but Nemanja Matic stepped up in stoppage time to provide three points with a goal that can only be described, without profanity, as an absolute peach.
