"Mounting a second-half comeback away at Selhurst Park on Sunday lunchtime, Manchester United secured a thrilling 2-1 victory away at Crystal Palace. Although the Red Devils might have collected a first Premier League victory in south London since way back in 2020, Ruben Amorim's men had to go about things the hard way in the capital. With Philippe Mateta's twice-taken penalty handing Palace the lead just nine minutes before the break, United had a real mountain to climb. However, moving just one-point away from finding a route into the Champions League spots, Joshua Zirkzee repaid Amorim's faith in starting him as the Dutch marksman produced a driven effort to level things up just minutes after the interval."
"It was another one of United's forgotten superstars who completed the turnaround just nine minutes after Zirkzee's equaliser as Mason Mount drilled home following Bruno Fernandes' free-kick. Drawing a line under their three-match winless run here, this is also just the second Premier League win that Amorim's side have recorded away from Old Trafford since back in May. On an afternoon when United claimed an immediate Premier League response in south London, we have taken a look at the key talking points from Selhurst Park. Amorim gets his immediate response"
