Crystal Palace vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the Premier League action from Selhurst Park as Wout Weghorst makes full debut
Manchester United’s nine-match winning run came to a halt after Michael Olise’s stunning stoppage-time free-kick earned Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag’s side were on course to go second in the Premier League table after Bruno Fernandes’ first-half opener.
But Olise’s late strike means they now head to leaders Arsenal on Sunday eight points adrift and missing key midfielder Casemiro, who will be suspended after picking up a fifth booking of the season late on.
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 just before the halfway point, and United seemed poised to make it 10 wins in a row in all competitions before Olise levelled.
