Mason Mount was the hero for Manchester United as they defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park this afternoon, Softfootball reports.
The Red Devils had lost 1-0 to 10-man Everton last weekend at Old Trafford to end a 5-game unbeaten run while the Eagles were the in-form team after beating Wolves 2-0 in the premier league match-day 12.
It looked business as usual when Philippe Mateta gave Palace the lead through a penalty but the Red Devils fought back with goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount to record Manchester United’s first win at Selhurst Park since 2020.
The Red Devils celebrated the win via their official X handle. The posted:

— Manchester United (@ManUtd) November 30, 2025Before the match, Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim confirmed that Lisandro Martinez is ready and that was happy news for Red Devils fans as they’ve missed the Argentine for almost eight months due to injury. He started the match from the bench as De Ligt, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw were the center back choice for the match.
It was a lively opening half as both sides went at it, trying to take the early advantage. But it was the home side that went in front as Mateta was fouled in the box by Yoro. He stepped up and finished from 12 yards but had to take the spot kick twice after he had a double kick the first time.
