PL: Mateta Brace Downs United At Old Trafford, Spurs End Winless Run
Pape Matar Sarr: Manchester United dropped points yet again the result of a second-half brace by Jean-Philippe Mateta, which saw Crystal Palace register a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.
The hour mark prompted the introduction of Eze from the bench for Palace – and his impact was immediate. Given the chance to take a deep free-kick, his lofted delivery towards the far post found Lacroix peeling around the back. The defender’s initial header was lofted superbly over Onana, but hit the bar – and with the ball bouncing down, Mateta scrambled home the rebound.
The afternoon got even better for Palace in the closing stages as Munoz broke the offside trap, in the 89th minute, latching on to Sarr's threaded ball down the right channel and squaring the ball for Mateta, who supplied another clinical close-range finish to beat Onana to double the score and seal the victory.
