Crystal Palace vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the Premier League action from Selhurst Park as Wout Weghorst makes full debut
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.

Each of United's last five Premier League away wins have been achieved by a single-goal margin. However, they will want another to consolidate their position in this contest.

United force a corner at the other end. After Eriksen's initial delivery is half-cleared, Fernandes tees up Antony. The Brazil winger goes for the top corner, but cannot keep his attempt down.

That yellow card means Martinez is walking a tightrope for the remainder of this match, something Ten Hag and United will be wary about.

Though generally second best so far, Crystal Palace certainly had their moments during that first half. Odsonne Eduoard was inches away from putting the hosts ahead but for David de Gea's wonderful reflexes, although that was their only effort on target so far.
