Manchester United climbed to third in the Premier League after coming from behind to beat 10-man Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Making the battle for Champions League places a four-way fight was what Michael Carrick's side had in mind after Aston Villa's defeat at Wolves on Friday meant the Red Devils had the chance to climb above Unai Emery's side. And that's what they did thanks to a second-half turnaround via a penalty from Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko continuing his goalscoring touch.

United last beat the Eagles at Old Trafford in September 2023 in the Carabao Cup and in the league in February of that year. The Reds’ record at home to Palace has been far from desirable, with them being beaten in their last two Old Trafford match-ups against Palace – and history was repeating itself early on.
