Follow the latest updates live from Crystal Palace vs Leeds United as Saturday’s Premier League action continues at Selhurst Park.
After the day’s opening encounter between Everton and Manchester United, Palace entertain Leeds with both sides knocking on the door of the top half of the table and looking to return to winning ways.
Palace suffered a disappointing defeat against Wolves last time out, while Leeds were on the end of a heavy 4-1 loss against Leicester, although their away form has been among the more impressive records in the Premier League this season. Follow the live updates below.
Full-time
Job done for United! A valuable win for Solskjaer thanks to a Fernandes brace and Cavani’s late goal. That will give the United boss some breathing space, although the key now is building on this and finding some consistency.
For Everton, it’s three successive defeats. Their strong start has been curtailed slightly.

GOAL! Everton 1-3 Manchester United (Cavani)
That seals it! United break with numbers and Fernandes carries the ball to the edge of the box. He plays in Cavani to his left, and the striker sweeps home clinically, scoring his first goal for the club.

Chance! A long ball is diverted into the box by Iwobi and Doucoure is there. But he completely misses his shot and United clear.
90+3 min
Rashford wins a free kick on the right flank, deep in Everton’s half. United will take their time with this.

Rashford escapes down the right, brushing off Allan before trying to find Cavani in the middle. His low ball across is straight at Pickford, though.

Fernandes goes for goal from the set piece, about 30 yards out, and sends a dipping effort over the bar.

Now Doucoure is shown a yellow card for clattering into McTominay.

Tosun is booked for pulling back McTominay. There’s a VAR check for an earlier challenge from Keane on Cavani in the box, but the decision remains no penalty.
