Manchester United staged an impressive second-half turnaround at Selhurst Park on Sunday, inflicting a first home defeat upon Crystal Palace. Palace had entered the contest enjoying a 12-game unbeaten on home soil, while United looked to be reeling after suffering a historic defeat to Everton at Old Trafford on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the picture is rosier for Ruben Amorim again, with his side performing with unfamiliar control after taking a 2\u20131 lead. Their triumph lifts them up to sixth and above the Eagles in the Premier League table, who slip down the seventh. Oliver Glasner\u2019s side remain winless off the back of Conference League outings.<\/p>\n
The match swung after the break. Jean-Philippe Mateta converted from the penalty spot after being tripped by Leny Yoro, and although a double touch forced a retake, Mateta sent Senne Lammens the wrong way for his second attempt to give Palace a deserved advantage. United responded early in the second half when Joshua Zirkzee beat Dean Henderson with a fierce left-footed finish from a clever set piece. Mason Mount then made the most of a shoddy Palace wall to score from just outside the area and complete the turnaround.<\/p>\n
Lisandro Mart\u00ednez returned to help see out the result after an absence since February. Palace faded in the second period, with Thursday night\u2019s venture perhaps taking its toll, and United enjoyed their best spell after taking the lead.<\/p>\n
