"The attacker won the penalty himself which was conceded by United defender Yoro. Mateta scored the spot kick easily but he was told to retake the penalty since in his first attempt, he touched the ball twice. The French attacker made no mistake the second time and scored for his team to give them a deserved lead in the first half."
"Bitibiri, covering the match for Sky Sports on their official website, named Yoro as the player who has looked shaky against Oliver Glasner's Palace. He said: Yoro has looked off it all afternoon. It's a definite spot-kick. Clumsy stuff from him. The young French defender, who has been Man United's first choice throughout the season, has struggled against a physical Mateta at Selhurst Park today."
Leny Yoro conceded a penalty to Jean-Phillipe Mateta after a clumsy challenge, allowing Palace to take the lead at Selhurst Park. Mateta's initial penalty required a retake due to a double touch, and he scored confidently on the second attempt. Yoro has struggled against a physical Mateta and appeared shaky in his defensive duties despite being a regular starter this season. Manchester United remain mired in defensive issues following a recent loss to Everton and are positioned in the bottom half, making this match a must-win that requires urgent improvement and a motivating halftime response.
