Crystal Palace humiliated Manchester United with a blistering display at Selhurst Park that leaves Erik ten Hag’s position with the Red Devils on a knife edge.

The hosts started as the better side and dominated possession from kick off. Michael Olise then opened the scoring in the 12th minute, cutting inside Casemiro and slotting home from inside the box. From there Palace never looked back. Jean-Philippe Mateta continued his amazing home form by darting in behind and blasting a strike past Andre Onana as United’s defence fell apart repeatedly.

The second half brought more goals. From a short corner Adam Wharton picked out Joachim Andersen at the far post who turned the ball across to Tyrick Mitchell for a tap-in. Olise then scored his second, Palace’s fourth, after Casemiro – who had a night to forget – was bungled off the ball deep in his own half. Daniel Munoz squared a pass and Olise rocketed a strike from range past Onana again.

The timid manner of United’s defeat will only raise more questions over Ten Hag’s suitability as the new owners look to make changes in the summer.

Crystal Palace 2-0 Man Utd

48 mins: In their Premier League history, Crystal Palace have never lost when they’ve been two goals up at half-time. The next goal in this match will be a crucial one.

If Man Utd can get it then Palace may just start to wobble.

Second half! Crystal Palace 2-0 Man Utd

Christian Eriksen gets the game back underway. Manchester United haven’t made any changes in personnel at the break but they need to figure out a way of getting themselves back into the match.

Half-time! Crystal Palace 2-0 Man Utd

45+3 mins: This is a big 15 minute break for Erik ten Hag. He needs to whip his players into shape, get them controlling the ball and shore up the massively leaking defence.

A quick goal after the restart and they’re back in the game. So far though they’ve been outplayed, outclassed and outworked by Crystal Palace.

Oliver Glasner will just say ‘more of the same lads’ and that’s his team talk done.

Crystal Palace 2-0 Man Utd

45 mins: Three minutes of added time to play in the first time. Man Utd just need to get to the break and then they can reset.
