Manchester United staged a dramatic comeback at Crystal Palace, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat with two late goals. The Eagles had dominated the first half, taking the lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty but United equalised just eight minutes after the restart thanks to Joshua Zirkzee's stunning strike.
Palace's dominance in the opening 45 minutes was a stark contrast to their own struggles at Old Trafford this season, where they have not won a league match. The home side were rampant, with Adam Wharton drilling straight at Senne Lammens from a corner and Yeremy Pino shooting wide after being found by Leny Yoro inside the Palace box.
However, United's response to their poor first-half display was transformed in the second half. Ruben Amorim's team changed tack, and the improvements were evident. Bruno Fernandes' free-kick set up Zirkzee for his goal, and Mason Mount then sealed the win with a powerful drive after being brought down by Marc Guéhi.
The victory marked Manchester United's first win at Selhurst Park in five years and ended Palace's run of 10 league games without a win. For Amorim, it was a much-needed boost after a frustrating week that saw contract extension talks stall over Mateta's future. Despite having Dean Henderson to thank for a crucial save earlier in the game, United's manager was beaming with pride after his team's improved performance.
Glasner's Palace, meanwhile, were left to ponder what might have been. The Eagles had looked odds-on to win but were unable to capitalise on their dominance and were ultimately punished by United's late revival. Conceding two goals from set pieces was a bitter pill for the manager to swallow, and he will be keen to address Palace's defensive vulnerabilities in the coming days.
The result moves Manchester United above Palace into seventh place, while their visitors remain just outside the top six. For Amorim, it marked a much-needed comeback after a series of poor results, and United's fans will hope that this win marks the beginning of a brighter period for the Red Devils.

. They're just winging it at this point, relying on those late goals to scrape by with a win. I mean, what happened in that first half? Dominating and then just completely falling apart is not exactly inspiring confidence. And don't even get me started on Ruben Amorim's tactics - all those set pieces leading to their goals... it's like he's just throwing the kitchen sink at things and hoping something sticks 
. Palace, on the other hand, are the real underdogs here. They dominated that first half and were robbed by some dodgy refereeing in the second. It's time for them to build on this momentum and take their football to the next level 
I'm loving Manchester United's late surge, but I gotta say, Palace were totally on top in the first half 
. They had some great chances and deserved to be ahead at halftime. But, you know, that's just how it goes sometimes, right? 
. I mean, that was a crucial save, but it also shows that Palace are struggling to contain big games. Maybe Glasner needs to sort out his defense ASAP 
.
Bruno Fernandes' free-kick setup was pure magic 
.
. Palace, on the other hand, are back to square one after 10 league games without a win 
. Can't wait to see what Glasner does next!
️
the way palace came out on top in the first half was insane, they looked so dominant & then united just completely turned it around in the second half 
i don't know what's gotten into ruben amorim's team this season, one week they're getting thrashed & the next they're coming from behind to win 
. Those two late goals were insane! 
and Mason Mount's strike on the edge of the box was so powerful 
. For Palace, conceding two goals from set pieces is just not cool 
. They need to work on their defense ASAP 
. Anyway, what a win for Manchester United! 
. Ruben Amorim's tactics clearly paid off and it's awesome to see him getting that much-needed win 
!
but palace were dominant in that 1st half lol they had those chances and couldn't capitalize on them 
amorim's tactics changed everything and now i'm hyped for their next game 
it's gonna be a wild ride with man united
