Crystal Palace vs Manchester United LIVE!
Michael Olise scored a brace of goals as Crystal Palace completed a Premier League double over Manchester United for the first time in their history with a thumping 4-0 victory at Selhurst Park on Monday that will add to the pressure on Erik ten Hag.
A makeshift United defence that included Casemiro at centre-back was easily picked apart by Palace on several occasions as Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell were also on the scoresheet in the impressive win.
United remain in eighth place with 54 points from 35 games, two points behind Newcastle in sixth, with their hopes of European football next season fading fast. Palace are still in 14th with 43 points from 36 matches.
United had several injury absentees and were without Bruno Fernandes, the first time in his 230-game Old Trafford career he has missed a match with injury, but the ease with which they were beaten will be a huge concern for everyone at the club.

Recap the action with our match report!
A controversial disallowed goal was not enough to distract from another abhorrent Manchester United performance in Monday’s 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
There seemed to be little plan or execution about the visitors’ attacks yet they were harshly denied a leveller when a corner was diverted skywards. Rasmus Hojlund met the dropping ball to head home while making contact with Dean Henderson, which was deemed pressure enough to give a foul to the Eagles in a clear case of goalkeepers being treated as a protected species.
Still, United had plenty of the ball and did very little with it until they were punished again by weak defending.

Casemiro 2
Given an absolutely torrid time by Olise, who sent him flying for Palace’s third and then nutmegged him with a classy backheel in the second half. Looked shaky all evening. Lost the ball for the fourth goal. Woeful.

Crystal Palace do the double over Manchester United for the first time!
Jordan Ayew slips but still has time to find his feet and fire off an effort from range… it deflects for Andre Onana to gather on the deck.
OFF THE POST!
Marc Guehi ventures forward and finds Odsonne Edouard, who spins Casemiro too easily and curls a lovely effort onto the woodwork. Andre Onana well beaten.
Jonny Evans with a vital flick to prevent Daniel Munoz’s cross reaching Jeffrey Schlupp… Palace come again and Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s last-ditch slide prevent Odsonne Edouard’s cross reaching Munoz for a tap-in.
We’ll have six added minutes.
Yellow card for Odsonne Edouard after a late one on Sofyan Amrabat. Retribution for the earlier lunge on Michael Olise, you wonder.
Two more subs for the Eagles. Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp on for Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise.
Calls from the home fans for a foul on Eberechi Eze are dismissed by Jarred Gillett, yet Palace keep their front foot forward.
Michael Olise, on a hat-trick, loses out to Kobbie Mainoo in the box before seeing a shot blocked. It looks like he’s coming off soon.
