"Having earlier missed a one-on-one chance, Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace ahead from the penalty spot in the 36th minute, having been fouled by Leny Yoro. Mateta found the bottom-left corner with his initial effort, but it was ruled that the kick was a double touch and a retake was ordered, under a new law brought in for this season. However, he held his nerve and beat Senne Lammens again, into the opposite corner."
"But United levelled out of nowhere nine minutes into the second half, with Zirkzee bringing down Bruno Fernandes' lofted free-kick before rifling past Dean Henderson from a tight angle, ending his 364-day wait for a Premier League goal. United's turnaround was complete nine minutes later as Fernandes rolled another set-piece to Mount, who fired his shot through a weak Palace wall and inside the near post, and the hosts never truly threatened an equaliser."
