Man Utd continued to create sad statistics after losing to Crystal Palace in round 24 of the Premier League. The "Red Devils" have not won 4 consecutive matches when facing this opponent, not even scoring a goal. This is also the 5th defeat in the last 6 home matches of Man Utd in the Premier League.
Man Utd took the field without a striker. The Old Trafford team dominated and attacked continuously but ineffectively.
In the first half, Man Utd only had one dangerous chance when Kobbie Mainoo's shot hit the post. The home team's number of shots on target was not equal to Crystal Palace's.
Man Utd continue to disappoint.
While Man Utd were still struggling to find a chance, they conceded a goal from a set piece. After a teammate's header hit the crossbar, striker Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the opening goal for Crystal Palace from close range.
Nearly 10 minutes after conceding the goal, coach Ruben Amorim sent two strikers Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund onto the field. Man Utd tried their best to attack but did not make any difference in efficiency.
Not only did the home team fail to score, they also lost more goals at the end of the match. When Man Utd pushed up, they could not counterattack when 2 Crystal Palace players had too much space in front of the goal. Mateta scored, destroying Man Utd's hopes of keeping the points.
The 0-2 defeat at home pushed the "Red Devils" back to 13th place in the Premier League table. The team that took 12th place from Man Utd was Crystal Palace.
