Crystal Palace Rout Red Devils 4-0

Manchester United’s top four hopes were left in tatters after a dismal 4-0 defeat at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace rode stellar performances from midfielders Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta to hand United their biggest loss of the season.

Olise opened the scoring with a mesmerizing solo run through the heart of United’s midfield before finishing coolly. Mateta then tapped in a second after skipping past defender Jonny Evans.

After the break, Olise added another with a placed finish into the bottom corner.

Palace’s dominance was complete as United offered little response in the second half. The loss leaves Erik ten Hag’s side languishing in eighth, three points off the top four with just three games to play.

They will need to significantly improve if they hope to salvage European football from a bitterly disappointing campaign.
