Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

22:03

Crystal Palace secure an emphatic 4-0 victory against Manchester United at Selhurst Park. The Eagles, who created 1.47 expected goals throughout, opened the scoring in the first half as Olise drove through the middle of the pitch before venturing into the box and firing into the bottom corner. Later in the half, Mateta burst past Evans and found himself one-on-one with Onana, and he produced a thunderous strike that flew in at the near post. After the break, Glasner’s side continued to push for more goals, and they later found a third as Mitchell pounced inside the box to fire home from just a few yards out. Shortly after, Olise got on the end of a cutback from Munoz, and he cut inside onto his left foot before unleashing a powerful strike from the edge of the box. It was a disappointing display from Ten Hag’s men, with their Europa League qualification hopes taking a major dent. It doesn't get any easier for United, who produced just 0.35 expected goals in today's game, as they host Arsenal on Sunday, while Palace travel to Wolves later this week. That's all for today, goodbye!

Off the post! Guehi sends a pass down the line and Edouard gets the better of Casemiro, before cutting inside and into the penalty area. He sends a powerful strike towards goal and Onana is rooted to the spot, but it cannons off the woodwork and away from danger. So close to a fifth for Palace!

21:53

Palace have a corner late on and Ayew delivers, but it's cleared and United can break. Wheatley drives towards the opposition box and he has Garnacho to his right but he chooses to go alone, and Mitchell makes an excellent challenge to halt the counter-attack.

The fourth official has indicated that there will be a minimum of six minutes of added time at the end of the game.

Ten Hag won't be happy with the second-half display from his side, who have capitulated at the back. United have managed just eight touches inside the opposition box and have produced just three shots since the break. Palace deserve plenty of credit, managing nine shots on target in the game.

Eze bursts past the challenge of Casemiro and darts through the middle of the pitch before reaching the penalty area. He looks to find the run of Edouard inside the box, but his pass is intercepted and he goes to ground. The Selhurst Park faithful want a free-kick, but the referee says no!

21:38

Palace win a free-kick inside the United half, and Olise and Eze are standing over it, with the former set to take. He delivers towards the back post and it evades everyone but Andersen prevents it from going behind. He quickly looks to deliver back into the danger zone, but Onana comes off his line to collect.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

21:36

Hojlund pokes the ball to Mainoo, and the young United midfielder twists and turns before finding Wan-Bissaka on the left-hand side. He works it onto his stronger foot before delivering into the box, but it's a poor effort and Palace can clear. The Red Devils have looked toothless in attack.

21:34

Wharton finds Eze on the left-hand side and he cuts inside, shifting the ball past Casemiro before picking out Edouard inside the penalty area. He holds it up in a dangerous position, but Amrabat dispossesses him before winning a foul for United.

Amrabat makes a reckless challenge on Olise on the touchline and he goes into the book.

Andersen puts the ball behind and United will now have a corner, and Eriksen is set to take it. He delivers a whipped cross to the front post and Casemiro is there to meet it, and he sends a powerful header towards goal, but Henderson makes a superb reaction save to deny him!

Eze receives the ball on the edge of the penalty area and he has Mitchell ahead of him and the England international finds him on the overlap. He picks it up inside the box and strikes towards goal at the near post, but Onana makes a smart save to deny him. It's all Palace at the moment.

21:18

Olise cuts inside from the right and fires a pass into the feet of Mateta, and he flicks it out wide to Michell. He remains patient and finds Eze, who plays a one-two with Olise. He bursts into the penalty area to receive the ball and looks to curl one into the bottom corner, but it's comfortably wide of the post.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

21:14

NO GOAL! United will now have a free-kick just outside the penalty area on the right-hand side, and it looks as though Eriksen is going to opt to cross rather than shoot. He whips it towards the back post and Casemiro wins the header, but it cannons off the post! It falls back into his path, and he fires into the back of the net... but the assistant has flag up, offside!

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

21:11

Palace go close! Munoz has the ball on the right-hand side of the box and he plays a throughball to Clyne who has burst forward from defence on the overlap. He floats a cross into the middle and Eze is there to strike it, but it's straight at Onana who makes a routine stop.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

21:11

Palace win a throw-in deep inside the United half, right by the corner flag. Munoz picks out Wharton and he looks to find Eze on the edge of the penalty area. He plays a first-time pass towards Mateta, but Evans does well to get there and intercept.

Hojlund gets the second half under way for United at Selhurst Park!

Glasner couldn't have asked for much more in the first half from his team, and according to Opta's live win probability calculator, they now have an 86.5 per cent chance of winning the match, with a draw at 10.4 per cent and a United victory at 3.1 per cent. With the Red Devils yet to test their former goalkeeper Henderson between the sticks, Palace will be disappointed if they allow the away side to get back into this one. Ten Hag will be disappointed with the performances produced by the majority of his players, but he has a lack of senior options on the bench due to a host of injuries throughout the squad. Amrabat is the only outfielder among the substitutes who is over the age of 21, but his introduction wouldn't be a surprise with United having a lack of control in the middle of the park.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:57

Crystal Palace go into the break with a 2-0 lead over Manchester United at Selhurst Park. It's been a comfortable game for the Eagles so far, producing 0.5 expected goals (xG) to United's 0.27, while finding the back of the net twice from five shots. Despite their lack of possession, Glasner's side look a constant threat when the get into the opposition half. Palace opened the scoring after Olise burst past Casemiro to create space for himself before driving into the penalty area, and he dispatched the ball into the bottom corner from just inside the box. Mateta doubled their lead later in the half after he knocked it past Evans and burst into the box, and his powerful effort at the near post caught out Onana and it flew into the back of the net. Ten Hag's side haven't shown enough of an attacking threat in the game, while the Dutch manager will be desperate to see his team tighten up at the back.

Evans finds Mount who quickly turns and shifts the ball out wide to Garnacho, and the United winger carries it into the Palace penalty area. He looks to pick out Mount who has found himself in space on the edge of the box, but it's a poor pass and the Eagles win it back before looking to break.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:45

United win a free-kick inside the Palace half and Eriksen is standing over it ready to take. He whips a dangerous delivery towards the middle. Casemiro is there to meet it and he looks to flick the ball goalwards, but it flies over the bar and it's a goal-kick to Glasner's side.

Goal Jean-Philippe Mateta

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:41

United have dominated the possession so far in today's game, having 61.1 per cent of the ball, but they are struggling to produce anything meaningful from it. The Red Devils have managed three shots since the match got under way, but none of those have been on target.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:38

Wharton finds Hughes between the lines and he drives towards the United defence before picking out Mitchell. The Palace full-back delays as he waits for a run from one of his team-mates, and he fires a pass into the feet of Hughes inside the box, but he gets it all wrong and Eriksen is there to win it back.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:36

It's been a positive start to the game for Palace, who have shown plenty of attacking threat in the first half. The Eagles have touched the ball inside the opposition box 14 times so far, producing four shots with two of those being on target.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:31

Palace should score! Henderson plays a ball over the top of the United defence, but Mainoo is there to meet it and he looks to play it back to Onana between the sticks. He doesn't get enough on it and Olise has the chance to race through on goal, but he attempts to round the goalkeeper rather than taking a shot and Onana gets down well to intercept.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:30

Eriksen heads over to take the corner for United and he whips a delivery to the back post. Casemiro wins the initial header and it loops up into the air, and it somehow finds it way into the back of the net, but the referee has blown for a foul! Hojlund barged into Henderson, and Palace are awarded a free-kick.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:28

Eriksen switches the play to Garnacho, and he gets it out of his feet before cutting inside onto his right, but Hughes brings him down and United have a free-kick in a dangerous position. Eriksen is standing over it and he curls it over the wall, and it gets a touch on its way through and goes behind for a corner.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:26

Chance for Palace! Munoz is found inside the United penalty area, and he fires a powerful delivery across goal. It comes to Mitchell who fakes to shoot before pulling it back to Olise and he strikes it first time, but it's straight down the throat of Onana who makes a comfortable save.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:25

Palace look to counter-attack as Olise carries the ball through the middle of the pitch. He shifts it to his right where Munoz has burst into the box, and the wing-back quickly looks to return it to Olise who strikes towards goal, but Mateta gets in the way of the shot and they lose possession.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:22

The Eagles win a free-kick inside the United half and Olise is standing over it. Palace have sent their defenders forward, and the delivery is floated towards the back post. Richards rises above his marker and looks to find a team-mate, but nods the ball behind for a goal-kick to the Red Devils.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:21

Antony and Dalot exchange passes before the latter receives the ball and drives towards the byline. He pulls it back to the edge of the box and Mount takes a touch, flicking it up in the air before striking a volley at goal, but his effort is blocked and Palace can clear. Ten Hag will be demanding more from his side after a tricky start.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:18

Munoz makes a smart challenge on Garnacho and Palace win the ball back, and he quickly finds Olise who turns before firing a pass into the feet of Mateta. He looks to drive towards the penalty area, but Evans is there to make the tackle and United regain possession.

Mateta holds the ball up and turns before driving at the United defence. He picks out Munoz on the right-hand touchline, and Palace recycle possession, with Olise being found before carrying towards the box. The Red Devils win it back and Eriksen looks to counter-attack, but Mitchell brings him down and it's a free-kick.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:12

United win a throw-in deep inside the Palace, and it's played inside to Mount. The Red Devils keep possession and Wan-Bissaka is found in between the lines before turning and picking out Garnacho. He looks to drive at Munoz and into the penalty area, but he's dispossessed and Palace can clear.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:09

Wan-Bissaka drives down the right-hand side before picking out Mainoo outside the penalty area. He spots the run of Hojlund in behind the Palace defence and plays a lofted ball in behind, but it's slightly overhit and it goes behind for a goal-kick to the Eagles.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

20:04

Olise receives a pass just outside the penalty area and he strikes towards goal, but it deflects behind for a corner to Palace. Wharton will take and he plays it short to Eze who looks to dart into the box, but Mount does well to get back into position and make a challenge, with United regaining possession.

Manchester United are still competing to finish in the Europa League places in the Premier League this season, and three points against Palace will take them into sixth place in the table. Erik ten Hag’s side have lost four away Premier League matches in London this season, losing to Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea. They have never lost five away league games in the capital in a single season before. The Red Devils have both scored and conceded in each of their last eight Premier League away games – only once have they had a longer such run in the competition, doing so in nine consecutive games between May and November 2001.

19:38

Crystal Palace will be playing for pride in today’s game as they look to end the season on a high. The Eagles have seen a resurgence in form since Oliver Glasner arrived at the club and they will hope that continues into the 2024/2025 campaign. Palace have won both of their last two Premier League games at Selhurst Park, last winning three in a row at home in the competition in October 2022. The Eagles have won as many of their five home Premier League games under Glasner this season (W3 D1 L1) as their 12 such matches under Roy Hodgson beforehand in 2023-24 (W3 D3 L6).
