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.

WHAT A SAVE! A relative spectator during this first half, Edouard suddenly bursts into life. The Palace striker gains a yard on Varane before bending the ball towards the top corner. But De Gea does brilliantly to get a fingertip on the effort and touch it onto the crossbar.

The man in form, Rashford goes for goal from distance, but his attempt is well wide of the target and never troubling Guaita.

Superb tackle! United look to work their way into the Palace box and a neat one-touch move almost gets Casemiro in behind. But Guehi is alert and produces a perfectly timed sliding challenge to stop the midfielder from pulling the trigger.

After he is well-found, space opens for Fernandes to try his luck from the edge of the area. He looks for the far post, but Guaita watches his strike all the way wide.

Rashford cleverly dummies Shaw's long ball forward and Weghorst lays it off for Casemiro to strike, but Hughes is well-placed to block his ambitious effort.

JUST OVER! Weghorst whiskers away! Shaw is enabled far too much room to set himself and send an inviting ball into the box. It is met by Weghorst, but his header just drops the wrong side of the crossbar.
