MU continued to chase closely the top 4 with a relatively difficult victory on the field of the annoying team Crystal Palace.
MU marched to Crystal Palace stadium in round 36 of the Premier League with heavy legs.
The home team Crystal Palace has shown that they are not an opponent to be bullied.
The first half saw Palace dominate, but the Red Devils were the team with the opening goal.
Conceding a goal, Crystal Palace started the second half with a `wave` of attacks even more intense than the first half. Ayew even put the ball into De Gea’s net in the 55th minute, but that was a situation that VAR confirmed.
Having escaped defeat, the Red Devils seemed to awaken.
In the 78th minute, the combination between Rashford and Martial continued, this time Rashford played the role of creator for his French teammate to score.
The final minutes of the match were just lackluster plays by the two teams.
With this result, MU continues to closely follow Leicester and Chelsea in the top 4 race. Currently, MU is equal to Leicester but ranked behind because of the lower number of goals scored.
