FULL TIME: Crystal Palace 1-2 Manchester United
And thats that! A tale of two goalkeepers, really. David De Gea was his usual magnificent self, the platform on which United built their victory. Theyd have lost without him. Julian Speroni, meanwhile, gifted United their winner. A sense that United have got away with one there, but theyre remembering to do what the great Manchester United teams always did: turn average performances into victories. Theyre on the verge of Champions League qualification now. Over the entire piece this season, theyll deserve it. Palace were a shade unlucky today, though. Ah well, theyll always have December 1972.
