How on earth did Manchester United win that?
Nemanja Matic’s mesmeric finish from distance in the 91st minute to clinch a stunning 3-2 win from 2-0 down at Crystal Palace was a goal which will live long in the memory. It couldn’t have been more out of keeping with United’s performance for much of the night, but the character displayed in digging themselves out of the self-created hole was what this night was ultimately about.
For 50 minutes, United were pathetic. From the first whistle they were all over the place, handing Palace the initiative with ragged, lifeless football.
