I think the disallowed goal is a little bit harsh. Anywhere on the pitch, that goal was not a foul but because it is on the goalkeeper, it gets given.

United's players have been sent back out to the pitch before there's any sign of Palace's team.

You think of the 73m on Hojlund and 85-90m on Antony and just cringe. The real talent is playing for Palace tonight - blindingly obvious.

Crystal Palace will remain 14th if they win this - but could start moving up the table in the last two weeks.

It is embarrassing from Casemiro, it is not about him being a defensive midfielder, he has been that bad he has to come off. Nothing can be worse than Casemiro at centre-back. Put Wan-Bissaka in the middle.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored nine goals in his 11 Premier League games under Oliver Glasner, having scored 11 goals in his previous 80 games in the competition for the Eagles.

I think looking at the first goal, it is crazy the way they are set up. Crystal Palace have got in front of them in their own half.
You should let Crystal Palace go backwards not forwards, it is just one run from Olise. It's shambolic to be honest. Casemiro, I don't know what he's doing to be honest. Olise just walks past him, it is so easy.

Moyes to United?

You know there's a crisis when even Mainoo is having a bad game.

Manchester United haven't have a shot on target so far in this game.
They did have a goal, I would argue, harshly disallowed - but they deserve to be behind, no doubt.

Manchester United have conceded multiple first-half goals in three consecutive top-flight away games for the first time since April 1977.

Crystal Palace deservedly lead at the break. They've been as good as United have been shambolic.

Eberechi Eze gets past the United backline with ease but he can't pick out Michael Olise in the centre. Maybe it was a shot. It was a waste anyway.

United going nowhere when they do get the ball.

Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored in each of Oliver Glasner's first six home Premier League games, becoming the first player to do so in the competition since Alan Shearer for Kevin Keegan in 1996-97 (first nine).

Three minutes added on.

United really are struggling to deal with Palace's attacks. Nathaniel Clyne skips into the box but can't pick out a team-mate.

If Ten Hag is the answer for Man Utd, I dread to think what the question is.
Kenny, Edinburgh
Is Ricarde still there as the rope has snapped.
Anon (please don't forget to leave your name)
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but Man Utd are a really really poor team.

United have a free-kick which Christian Eriksen swings in from deep and Casemiro heads over the bar.

Alan Smith
Former Arsenal forward on Sky Sports
That sums up Crystal Palace at the moment. It sums up Mateta at the moment and it sums up Man Utd at the moment. I feel sorry for Jonny Evans, he is one on one v an in-form striker but he's done nothing. Palace have found gaps and United have been wanting. I cannot believe he's got through United so easily, but what a finish that is.
Jean-Philippe Mateta
The goal machine bags again and what a goal.
More terrible play from United, who lose the ball in midfield. Chris Richards plays a ball down the left to Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Mateta gets past Jonny Evans as if he was a ghost and then hammers the ball past Andre Onana at the near post.

Crystal Palace won 1-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier this campaign – the Eagles have never completed a league double over the Red Devils.
Manchester United won eight of their first 11 away Premier League games against Crystal Palace (D3) but are winless in their last three (D2 L1).
Manchester United have lost four away Premier League matches in London this season, losing to Spurs, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea. They have never lost five away league games in the capital in a single season before.
Manchester United have lost eight of their last 14 away Premier League matches in the month of May (W3 D3), with one of those a 1-0 defeat at Selhurst Park in 2022 under Ralf Rangnick.
Crystal Palace have won both of their last two Premier League games at Selhurst Park, last winning three in a row at home in the competition in October 2022. The Eagles have won as many of their five home Premier League games under Oliver Glasner this season (W3 D1 L1) as their 12 such matches under Roy Hodgson beforehand in 2023-24 (W3 D3 L6).
Manchester United have shipped 77 goals in 47 games all competitions this season, their most in a season since 1977-78 (80). Their current ratio of conceding (1.64 goals-per-game) is their worst since the 1962-63 campaign (1.75 per game).
Manchester United have both scored and conceded in each of their last eight Premier League away games – only once have they had a longer such run in the competition, doing so in nine consecutive games between May and November 2001.
Despite only starting five matches and playing 485 minutes at Selhurst Park this season, only Jean-Philippe Mateta (8 goals, 2 assists) has had a hand in more Crystal Palace goals at home in the Premier League than Michael Olise (4 goals, 4 assists). Indeed, across his last eight home league starts, Olise has scored four and assisted seven.
Jean-Phillipe Mateta has scored in each of his five home Premier League appearances under Oliver Glasner (seven goals), having only netted in five out of his first 37 home matches for Crystal Palace beforehand (five goals). The last player to score in his first six home appearances under one manager in the competition was Alan Shearer for Kevin Keegan in 1996-97 (first nine).
In April, Bruno Fernandes created 31 chances in his six appearances in all competitions for Manchester United, seven more than any other Premier League player. He created nine chances in each of his last two Premier League appearances (vs Sheffield United and Burnley), becoming the only player on record to create 9+ chances in consecutive matches (2003-04 onwards).
