Crystal Palace 1-1 Man Utd: Olise's stunning free-kick halts Erik ten Hag's side

Michael Olise's stunning free-kick denied Erik ten Hag's Manchester United victory at Crystal Palace as the hosts fought back for a 1-1 draw to secure their Premier League status

Manchester United won this exact fixture 2-1 in February last season but havent managed to win consecutive away games in the league since August

Patrick Vieira's side took the lead through Olise's 32nd-minute free-kick, which David de Gea could only help into his own net. However, Bruno Fernandes equalised for United just before half-time with a crisp finish.

Both sides had chances to win it in the second half, but Vicente Guaita denied Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, while De Gea kept out a fierce strike from Eberechi Eze.

The result leaves United in fifth place, three points behind Tottenham in fourth, while Palace are 11th, 10 points clear of the relegation zone with two games to go.

Conclusion

Manchester United's hopes of a top-four finish were dented by a frustrating draw at Crystal Palace, who secured their Premier League status with a battling display. Erik ten Hag's side remain in fifth place, three points behind Tottenham, and must now win their remaining two games and hope Spurs slip up if they are to qualify for the Champions League.
