"When Jean-Philippe Mateta broke the deadlock in the 36th-minute with a retaken penalty, after he hit the ball twice with his first effort, Palace boss Oliver Glasner looked set to inflict more misery on Amorim. However, Amorim watched Zirkzee get off the mark this season and score his first league goal since December with a fine low finish after 54 minutes and Mount's curled effort nine minutes later completed the turnaround."
"United's mini-resurgence under Amorim had been halted against Everton and he switched the full-backs in his much-maligned 3-4-2-1 formation at Selhurst Park. Up against a Palace team in the same set-up, the visitors started brightly and Casemiro could have scored within 60 seconds, but Dean Henderson blocked his close-range effort. Mateta soon started to terrorise the United backline with a shot sent wide after Matthijs de Ligt's clearance hit team-mate Leny Yoro."
Jean-Philippe Mateta put Crystal Palace ahead in the 36th minute from a retaken penalty after his first effort hit the ball twice. Manchester United turned the game around in the second half when Joshua Zirkzee scored a low finish after 54 minutes and Mason Mount curled in a strike nine minutes later. United had suffered a poor home loss to ten-man Everton that ended a five-match unbeaten run. Ruben Amorim switched the full-backs in his 3-4-2-1 formation. Palace applied relentless pressure early, creating several chances and forcing important saves and blocks from United defenders and goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
