Manchester United clashed heads with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park earlier today as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a slow start to the game and conceded a penalty, which Jean-Philippe Mateta scored in the 36th minute. Man United went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Joshua Zirkzee equalised in the 54th minute with a great strike from a tight angle. Mason Mount completed the turnaround just nine minutes later as the Red Devils hung on to their slender advantage to secure a hard-fought 2-1 win away from home.
