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.

Manchester United broke the deadlock just before half-time to take a slender lead into the break at Selhurst Park. It was a brilliant goal as well with Marcus Rashford and Christian Eriksen combining to set up Bruno Fernandes, who made no mistake in putting the visitors ahead.

That would have been some goal from Edouard to break the deadlock. But full marks to De Gea, who demonstrated wonderful reflexes to keep the scoreline goalless.
