Mateta Nets Brace As Manchester United Suffers Shock Home Defeat To Crystal Palace—-Ruben Amorin led United fell to a disappointing 2-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace after conceding two second half goals to Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Lost to Palace ends the good run of form the Red Devils were on as they went into the game on the back of three straight wins across all competitions, but this defeat sees them drop one place to 13th in the Premier League table.

Before kick-off, Man United showed off their winter signings Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu to the Old Trafford faithful and tributes were paid as the club remembered the victims of the 1958 Munich Air Disaster.

On the pitch, Man Utd made the stronger start. Kobbie Mainoo – operating as a false 9 in the absence of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee – was causing problems for the Palace defenders with his positioning and he set up Alejandro Garnacho for a chance before seeing an effort of his own turned on to the post.

However, Palace grew into the game and were perhaps unfortunate to not have taken a lead going into the break. Daniel Munoz headed high and wide at the back post, Ismaila Sarr inadvertently took the ball away from Mateta who was then denied by a superb save from Andre Onana.

Dean Henderson produced a super stop right at the start of the second half as he stayed strong and pushed Bruno Fernandes’ effort wide.

United responded by throwing on Hojlund and Zirkzee but they suffered a major injury blow when Lisandro Martinez went down following an innocuous challenge from Sarr. Judging by the defender’s reaction, it would appear he’s facing a long spell on the sidelines.

As the hosts pushed forward for an equaliser they were caught cold as the clocked ticked over into the 90th minute.

Munoz sprung the offside trap an unselfishly squared the ball for Mateta and he slammed the ball past Onana to earn Palace their second win at Old Trafford in successive seasons.
