Marcus Rashford's free-kick gave United a 2-0 lead, and then the Reds played more calmly on the pitch, essentially surrounding Crystal Palace in half the pitch and struggling to even get past the halfway.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Rashford almost helped Manchester United change the score.

Anthony Martial held the ball on the left flank to force the Palace right-back, then swept into the box and played an inverted triangle near the bottom line into the six-yard corner.

Marcus Rashford was on target, but it was difficult for him to make a shot because he was running towards the ball, so he could barely lift his foot and head towards the Crystal Palace goal.

It is impossible to play with power and speed in such a shooting action, coupled with the fact that there are a lot of defenders in the small penalty area of Crystal Palace, and in the end, the ball was blocked by Crystal Palace central defender Delaney with his body.

However, referee Lee Mason and the linesman were blocked by the dense crowd in the small penalty area, and did not see that the last person to touch the ball was Delaney, so they directly gave Crystal Palace a goal kick.

The Manchester United players didn't pay too much attention to it, they were 2-0 up, and their mentality was very good.

The Reds then slowed down the tempo of their attack slightly, and after playing for almost half an hour at Crystal Palace, the fitness of the United players also reached a slight limit and needed to be adjusted.

Crystal Palace took the opportunity to catch their breath and gradually pressed the line to Manchester United's half.

They will also be hoping to pull a goal back or even equalise. After all, they are still 16th in the league with 39 points, although they are nine points higher than Sunderland, who are third from the bottom of the league, but Sunderland have played two games less than them, and they still have a lot of relegation pressure.

Originally, in the first half of the season, Crystal Palace's results were very impressive. After 19 rounds in the first half, they even beat Manchester United and Liverpool to sit fifth in the Premier League table with 31 points, just four points away from Tottenham, who were fourth in the league at the time.

However, Crystal Palace have had a terrible run into 2016, picking up just eight points so far. This has caused their league ranking to drop from 5th to 16th, which can be called a cliff-like decline.

………………

There must be many reasons for such a huge decline in results, but it can be summed up as a lack of offensive strength and poor defense.

With such a team state, if you want to attack Manchester United, which has won consecutive games recently, the consequences can be imagined.

In the 38th minute, after a few minutes of play, United were relieved as they suddenly stepped up their pressing and quickly snatched the ball back from Crystal Palace.

Wayne Rooney dribbled from inside his own box and made his way to the top of the centre circle.

In those sixty or seventy metres of dribbling, none of the Palace players defended Wayne Rooney.

However, when Wayne Rooney arrived at the top of the centre circle, the Palace players split up to defend him. It's just that, before the player got closer, Rooney had already passed the ball.

It was a through ball that penetrated Palace's left rib and slotted into the Palace penalty area from a huge gap between Crystal Palace right-back Kelly and right centre-back Mariapa.

Marcus Rashford came into the gap, slotting Wayne Rooney's pass forward before slotting it straight into the box.

When they found out that Rashford had received the ball, Kelly and Mariapa panicked and ran desperately towards Rashford.

However, where is their speed the opponent of Rashford, they can only watch Rashford enter the penalty area and take the ball to face his own goalkeeper Speroni alone.

At this point, they can only hope that Speroni can continue his good form of saving several must-have goals for Manchester United in a row and block Rashford's shot.

………………

For most strikers, the single goal is a huge test, and too many top goalscorers have suffered Waterloo when faced with a single goal, and it has ended in disgrace.

However, Rashford has never been afraid of a one-on-one ball, because since playing an official professional game, he has not missed a real one-on-one ball, and the only time was because his own team-mate passed wide, and the opposing goalkeeper took the first step to control the ball before he could receive it.

Speroni also knew that Rashford was good at one-on-one balls, so in the face of Rashford's assault, he did not dare to stay away from the goal at all, but only adjusted his defensive angle in small steps, forcing Rashford to make the first shot choice.

Rashford knew what Speroni was thinking, but he was not polite to Speroni, and after entering the penalty area, he shot straight on goal.

I saw him running, lifting his right foot against the rolling ball, and pumping it, and then the ball changed direction and roared straight to the upper corner of the near corner of the goal.

Speroni's goal of wanting Rashford to shoot first was achieved, but he found that he might as well move first.

Rashford's shot was too powerful, too fast, too close to the goal, and Rashford was the first to make a save, the ball was already whistling over his head, directly drilling into the dead corner between the near post and the crossbar.

Speroni's instinct as a goalkeeper still allowed him to make a save. However, with the whistling soccer ball, it looked as if he was being carried by the ball, and then he fell to the ground on his back and did not get up for a long time.

The person next to him thought that this shot hit Speroni's stomach, making him angry and unable to get up for a while.

In fact, this is not the case at all, although Speroni is indeed out of breath, but it is not that he is shot by the ball and is out of breath, but he instinctively rises in the air, and then suddenly falls, his body is not protected, resulting in a little bit of a fork.

………………

While the United players were celebrating their goals, Crystal Palace's team doctor also came on to treat Speroni.

By the time the game restarted, the clock was already in the fortieth minute of the game.

Crystal Palace sent a corner, but it was quickly cut off by United and played into the front line. Juan Mata crossed back in front of the baseline and Rashford faced the defence of Magliapa and Cabaye and deliberately leaked the ball to Lingard behind him after drawing their attention.

Jesse Lingard was in a state of being let go at this point, and he took the ball and fired a powerful shot into the near post. However, the speed and power of his shot were clearly not as fast as Rashford's, and the reflexes were confiscated by Speroni.

Two minutes later, United were back in the picture. Anthony Martial received a clever pass from Juan Mata and fired a left-footed volley from 12 yards on the left side of the penalty area, which Speroni saved to keep the ball out.

Late in the first half, Palace organised an attack but it was disrupted by Chris Smalling. After that, Suiare slid a shovel and knocked over Juan Mata and received a yellow card.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United led Crystal Palace 3-0 into the half-time break. I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
