Manchester United Fight Back to Beat Crystal Palace 2–1 at Selhurst Park
Manchester United staged a determined second‑half comeback to secure a 2–1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday, ending Palace’s long unbeaten home run. Crystal Palace took the lead shortly before half‑time when Jean‑Philippe Mateta converted a retaken penalty following a foul by Leny Yoro in the box. United trailed at the interval, facing the challenge of overturning the deficit on the road. The second half told a different story. Joshua Zirkzee leveled the score in the 54th minute with a composed finish, marking his first Premier League goal in nearly a year. Nine minutes later, Mason Mount fired home the winner from a set‑piece routine, sealing the comeback and sending the traveling United fans into celebration. The win lifted Manchester United above their rival, Liverpool, providing a timely boost after recent inconsistent form. Midfield and defensive improvements in the second half were key, as the team pressed higher and maintained discipline to control the game. For Palace, the defeat highlighted vulnerabilities under pressure and in defending set pieces. The home side will hope to recover quickly as they look to maintain their position in the league table.
