Dutch forward ends year-long wait for a PL goal as Amorim’s side leapfrog Eagles in table
Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount struck in the second half as Manchester United came from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
It looked as if the Red Devils might finish November without a victory in four Premier League games when Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace ahead from the penalty spot in the 36th minute.
1 – 2Man Utd
FTUnder an updated law brought in for this season, Mateta was ordered to retake the spot-kick due to his initial effort being a double touch, and he converted cleanly at the second time of asking.
But United fought back after the interval as Zirkzee ended his 364-day wait for a Premier League goal, and Mount‘s 20-yard drive from a free-kick routine decided the contest.
United move one point above Palace, with the teams sitting sixth and seventh in the table, respectively, ahead of Sunday’s other fixtures.
