Michael Olise’s double and strikes from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell gave Crystal Palace a 4-0 win against Manchester United, adding to Erik ten Hag’s woes
If Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United remained up for debate then surely this removed any lingering doubtsfrom a Crystal Palace side inspired by the magical feet of Michael Olise delivered one of the most embarrassing evenings of the Dutchman’s tenure.
Palace had no such issues and welcomed back Eberechi Eze to the starting lineup. There was also a timely return for Marc Guéhi on the bench as he looks to prove his fitness in time for the Euros after three months out with a knee injury, with Gareth Southgate watching on from the stands at his former club.
Jarred Gillett, the referee, made history by wearing a head-mounted ‘RefCam’, with footage to be broadcast at a later date, and his first decision was to wave away Mitchell’s appeals for a penalty after a challenge from Evans. It wasn’t long until Palace found a way through United’s porous defence as the familiar failings returned, however.
But United’s luck could not hold forever and Ten Hag looked on forlornly when Chris Richards fed Mateta after winning possession. The in-form striker powered past the helpless Evans before smashing his shot into the net.United’s players were sent out into the rain early for the second half but Palace continued where they left off as Eze volleyed Nathaniel Clyne’s cross straight at Onana.
