Manchester United faced off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier tonight as they looked to secure a positive result on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a solid start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 43rd minute when Bruno Fernandes found the back of the net. Man United went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
The visitors were defensively solid for most of the second 45 minutes but conceded the equaliser in injury time when Michael Olise scored for the Eagles. The match ended with the Red Devils being held to a 1-1 draw away from home.
