VAR drama sees Manchester United climb to third

The match opened with Maxence Lacroix scoring for Palace in the fourth minute, but a second goal by Matheus Cunha was later disallowed after a VAR check. The referee awarded a penalty to Bruno Fernandes, who calmly converted, and a minute later he added a second goal. Benjamin Sesko then struck for United, sealing the win.

The 2-1 result gives United three crucial points and lifts them to third place, while Palace remains in 15th. Jørgen Strand Larsen was substituted after a brief moment of confusion.
