"At half-time, it was about being in that position and how we react—showing that personality and the belief. We wanted to make more runs and be a little more aggressive in attacking their back line. It was just a couple of little tweaks in shape, maybe a couple of ideas. Honestly, it wasn't major and I'm not taking much credit for that. It was more about finding a way."
"It's the first time that we've been in that situation going in at half-time. The tactical shift paid dividends when Matheus Cunha was fouled for a penalty, which Bruno Fernandes coolly converted to level the scores. Benjamin Sesko completed the comeback in the 65th minute by rising highest to power home a cross from Fernandes, marking his fourth goal in his last five games."
Manchester United fell behind early to Crystal Palace when Maxence Lacroix scored from a corner in the fourth minute. Despite a strong finish to the first half, interim manager Michael Carrick recognized the need for change at halftime. He implemented minor tactical tweaks in shape and demanded greater aggression and personality from his players, encouraging more attacking runs against Palace's defense. The adjustments proved effective in the second half. Matheus Cunha was fouled in the penalty area, allowing Bruno Fernandes to equalize. Benjamin Sesko, making his first league start under Carrick, completed the comeback in the 65th minute with a powerful header from a Fernandes cross, securing the vital victory.
