"Lacroix put Palace ahead after just four minutes, outmuscling Leny Yoro before superbly planting a header into the far post from Brennan Johnson's corner. United struggled to get going in the first half, with their best chance seeing Casemiro nod just wide of the bottom-right corner, but the game changed early in the second period."
"Lacroix was caught too tight to Matheus Cunha and dragged the Brazilian down just inside the area, and, after United were awarded a penalty, a VAR review made things even worse for the Palace centre-back as he was dismissed for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity."
"Bruno Fernandes made no mistake from the spot in the 57th minute, and the United captain then turned provider for the winning goal eight minutes later. His delivery from deep on the right flank was brilliantly headed into the bottom-right corner by Sesko, who also netted the decisive goal against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday."
Manchester United came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Old Trafford after Maxence Lacroix's red card shifted the match's momentum. Lacroix opened the scoring with a header in the fourth minute, but his afternoon deteriorated when he fouled Matheus Cunha in the penalty area. VAR confirmed the foul denied a clear goalscoring opportunity, resulting in his dismissal. Bruno Fernandes converted the penalty in the 57th minute, and Benjamin Sesko sealed victory with a header eight minutes later from Fernandes' cross. Michael Carrick's unbeaten record as interim manager continues, moving United to third place in the Premier League table.
