Crystal Palace have shown resilience to grab a late draw to cause a setback to Manchester United’s ambitious aim to cling unto the first spot on the Premier League table.
The match which ended in a 1—1 draw was full of interesting and intense moments for the home team as United put on pressure to secure a win.
United who gave their new signing, Wout Weghorst a starting debut couldn’t secure a win to make the best start for their new addition to the club away at the Selhurst Park.
United debutant Wout Weghorst nearly opened his account for his new side, directing a first-half header over the crossbar, while a brilliant stop by David De Gea denied the hosts from taking a first half lead.
Fernandes handed the visitors the lead in the 43rd minute just before half-time, and United seemed poised to make it 10 wins in a row in all competitions.
But, Michael Olise’s late free kick brought United’s winning streak of straight nine-match to an end and the hope of climbing the second spot on the EPL Table with 41 points painfully ruined.
Manchester United have now accumulated same point with Manchester City (39 points), with City having a game at hand against Tottenham later today.
