"I just said to the players we need to be more alive and you can feel that,"
"So if you are more alive, you are in more places, you are near the ball more often. I think everyone did that."
"But we also need to understand that the opponent was tired also in the second half. And when you increase the rhythm and the opponent gets tired a little bit, suffers right away a goal, you felt that we had the control of the game and that's it."
Ruben Amorim made a half-time tactical switch by moving Bryan Mbeumo higher and more central, which helped United gain a foothold after a poor first half. United increased their intensity and raised the game’s tempo, exploiting Palace’s second-half fatigue. Joshua Zirkzee scored an equalizer with a clinical finish from an acute angle, his first Premier League goal in 364 days. Mason Mount followed with a decisive goal to complete a 2-1 turnaround. The result improved perceptions of both Amorim and Zirkzee and produced jubilant celebrations among the travelling fans.
