Mason Mount's Precise Strike Completes United Turnaround Victory against Crystal Palace

Precisely as the Portuguese coach likely believed his luck would never turn, Manchester United delivered Oliver Glasner's team's opening Selhurst Park setback in the Premier League since February.

The Palace manager's team dominated early and deservedly took the lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta's repeated spot-kick. However they failed to capitalize on their control and having failed to find the net at Selhurst, the visitors responded two times in quick succession through Joshua Zirkzee plus the former Chelsea player.

Difficult Afternoon against Palace

Post-Interval Comeback

Palace's shot-stopper came out wearing a cap to block the sun from the low sun yet he'll feel regret to have allowed United to equalise eight minutes following halftime.

Glasner's team was unprepared by a quick Bruno Fernandes free-kick and Zirkzee was able to control with his chest and swivel in the same movement to unleash an attempt that flew into the net.

Decisive Goal
