8 min: Blind, the best part of 30 yards out, decides to take a shot. He’s lined up with the left-hand post, and goes for the bottom-right corner. His blistering daisycutter is going in, but then Speroni fingertips it onto the post. Corner, which is a non-event. What a shot from Blind, though. He’s a marvellous player. “And, sadly, no tonsorial stylings and no 1-11 for the teams either,” adds Lou Roper. Aye. God I miss being young.
 
11 min: Young in a lot of space down the left. Space he earned by powering past Ward, in fairness. But the resulting cross is an abject waste of time. Guardian disclaimer: Much Improved doesn’t mean Perfect.
 
13 min: Ward, deep on the right, rakes a diagonal ball into the box for Zaha, who just inside the box on the left, has a chance to Di Canio a volley into the top right. He opts for the safe rather than the spectacular. Shame. Taking it down gets him nowhere.

Sina la kusema Ntuzu ila endelea kutuombea.. tukifunga nitakupa zawadi nzuri sana

14 min: Herrera comes in from the right and sends a woeful long-distance effort well wide left of the target. This won’t stay goalless long, I’ll be bound.
 
15 min: Well that’s jinxed everyone, hasn’t it. Murray rolls the ball to McArthur’s feet, on the penalty spot. He’s just got to knock it a little bit to his left, then lash it in, rather like Género Zeefuik did for Hearts against Rangers the other week. Yes, that one. But he doesn’t. He fannies around, and the chance is gone. Apologies to Palace.
 
17 min: Bolasie robs a dithering Young on the right-hand edge of the United area. He bursts clear into the box, then shanks a hilariously poor shot into the side netting, while falling over. Young’s given the free kick, which is both unnecessary and incorrect. What a business all round.
 
21 min: Young is all over Ward. He twists the full-back’s body and blood yet again, then whacks a deep cross to Rooney at the far past. Rooney heads down for Herrera, who meets the ball near the penalty spot with a volley. Not a particularly sweet one, the ball sailing into the top-right corner of the stand behind the goal. That’s a dismal end to a lovely move. Palace are reeling.

GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-1 Manchester United (Mata 19 pen)

Penalty to United! Young makes off down the left. He crosses into the area. Dann misreads it, and leans down into the ball, with his right arm stuck out. It clanks off his upper arm. Penalty. The correct decision, though Palace are livid. Mata steps up, and rolls it into the bottom left, albeit without much conviction, Speroni getting very close to it.
