Bruno Fernandes made the difference as Manchester United came from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the Premier League. Ruben Amorim made two changes to his starting line up with Diogo Dalot and Mason Mount selected ahead of Noussair Mazraoui and Patrick Dorgu.
United should have scored within the opening minute when Casemiro fired straight at Dean Henderson, while Jean-Philippe Mateta drilled an effort into the side-netting at the other end. There was a sense of deja vu when Casemiro then headed wide of the goal and Mateta dragged an excellent chance wide of goal.
Palace were far the better side in the first half and deservedly led before half-time when Mateta scored his penalty at the second attempt after he had been fouled in the box by Leny Yoro. Amorim made no changes at the break, but was still able to inspire an unlikely comeback victory.
United responded well and drew level within 10 minutes of the restart when Joshua Zirkzee latched onto a brilliant Bruno Fernandes free-kick and fired an excellent effort across the goal. They soon had a second when Mason Mount fired in from the edge of the box after a quick free-kick from the club captain again.
Here is how we rated the United players at Selhurst Park.

An uncomfortable defensive display. He didn't offer enough in attack either. A rare off-day in his favoured right wing-back role. | Getty Images
6. Casemiro - 5
He should have scored within a minute and went close with another header. Didn't offer enough in midfield. He grew into the match as it went on. | Manchester United via Getty Images
7. Bruno Fernandes - 7.5
The creative mastermind of a brilliant comeback. He set-up both goals from set-pieces. Still the most important player in this United team. | Getty Images
8. Diogo Dalot - 7
An improvement from him in a defensive perspective. One of the few players who won their individual contest and won the free-kick for the second goal. | Getty Images
