Crystal Palace vs Sheffield United
What a vital win for Crystal Palace as Michael Olise's second-half strike secures them a 3-2 home win against Sheffield United. The visitors were ahead after just 22 seconds when Ben Brereton curled in a superb finish from the left. Palace equalised through Eberechi Eze before Chris Wilder's side hit the front again through James McAtee's deflected strike. Eze pulled the Eagles level before the break with a wonderful strike before Olise, on his return to the team, found the back of the net in superb style after the break to secure all three points for the home side. They move up to 14th with that win, while Sheffield United remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table and see their winless league run extend to six games. Next up for the Blades is a tricky game at home against Aston Villa on Saturday, while Roy Hodgson's Palace travel to face Brighton. That's all for today - thanks for tuning in!
