On the 18th, Crystal Palace relied on a goal in stoppage time to draw with Manchester United 1:1 at home, allowing the opponent’s winning streak in all competitions to stay at 9 games.
Manchester United, which has an impressive record recently, took the lead on the day. Before the end of the first half, Crystal Palace’s defense was slack, Rashford made a straight pass, Eriksson broke into the penalty area and returned a pass from the left rib, and finally Fernandez calmly kicked the goal from the middle of the penalty area.
Crystal Palace was not without chances, but Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea performed well. In addition to defusing Edward’s strong shot in the first half, he also blocked Gersh’s header in the second half. However, the fighting spirit of Crystal Palace finally achieved a breakthrough in the 91st minute. They took advantage of the free kick in the frontcourt and Olis took the penalty directly and scored 1 point tenaciously.
As a result, Manchester United surpassed Newcastle United following 19 rounds and ranked third with a 1-point advantage, with 39 points equal to Manchester City, which had one game less. Manchester City, which has been left behind by “leader” Arsenal by 8 points, will play Tottenham at home on the 19th.
Manchester United coach Ten Hager said following the game that he was drawn by his opponent with two minutes to win, and it felt like two points lost. “We were 1-0 up and had a lot of chances in the second half to score the second goal, but I never saw the players go all out for the second goal and I have to criticize my team for that.”
Manchester United will go south to London to challenge Arsenal on the 22nd. Arsenal’s only defeat in the Premier League so far this season has been at Old Trafford.
