"Manchester United once again find themselves behind under Ruben Amorim, with the Red Devils currently trailing Crystal Palace, courtesy of Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Frenchman had a bright start to Sunday's early kick-off at Selhurst Park, and won his side a penalty midway through the first half. After a clumsy challenge in the box, it was the forward who stepped up to take the spot-kick, and he sent Senne Lammens the wrong way, rolling his effort into the corner."
"But there was drama, with officials judging the France international to have double-touched the ball on its way in. Had Mateta missed his first effort, United would have been given the ball and play would have resumed. But, because Mateta scored, he was able to retake it. He picked the other corner this time, and wheeled off to celebrate before half-time."
