How Crystal Palace Stoppage time equalizer ruined Manchester United’s winning streak

To stop Manchester United’s run of victories and help Crystal Palace salvage a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park, Michael Olise scored an incredible free kick in the dying moments.

His left-footed shot curled over the wall and slammed into the crossbar from underneath.

Clear-cut opportunities were few and distant in an otherwise evenly matched Premier League game, with each team missing a few half-chances in the first half.

Prior to United’s debutant Wout Weghorst heading onto the roof of the net, Luke Shaw saw his attempt veer across the goal face. Jean-Phillipe Mateta’s strike was headed for the top corner and Palace thought they had scored, but David De Gea made a sensational stop to save a goal.

A few minutes later, United seized the lead when Bruno Fernandes scored from close range after Christian Eriksen had been set up on the left side. In order to give United a lead at the break, the Portuguese midfielder composed himself before firing a shot that found the back of the net.

Eberechi Eze footed a shot wide and high in the rather uninteresting second half, while Marcus Rashford missed a long-range attempt.

Scott McTominay was brought down in the box, but VAR disallowed a penalty for the Red Devils. Casemiro then received his fifth yellow of the year, which will keep him out of Sunday’s game at Arsenal.

In the closing seconds, Olise netted a beautiful free kick to give Palace a point, making the situation even worse for United.
