- SAMUEL LUCKHURST

Crystal Palace secured a third win in their last six games at M16 through Joachim Andersen's 25th-minute volley to leave the Reds with four defeats from their first seven league games.

United have not lost as many league matches at this stage of the season since 1989 and their return of nine points from the opening seven games is their worst in four years.

Palace surrendered 3-0 at United in the League Cup four days earlier but held kept United at bay for 65 minutes after Andersen struck. The Reds were booed off at full-time and Ten Hag had no issue with the reaction of the supporters.
