United continued to take corners. Juan Mata's corner was aimed at Anthony Martial in front of him, but Martial's shot from the back of the line hit the defender and United were awarded another corner. It was United's fifth corner of the first half.

None of the previous four corners posed much of a threat, perhaps after a lot of adjustment, Juan Mata finally found his senses. His corner went straight into the Palace penalty area, where Fellaini pressed forward from the Palace defenders and headed in front of Jedinak in front of the six-yard box, but it was just wide.

Threatening the Crystal Palace goal twice in a row, the morale of the United players has risen, and they continue to suppress Crystal Palace on the field. However, Crystal Palace also played very tough, so the two sides fought in midfield.

In the 13th minute, Crystal Palace finally threatened Manchester United's goal for the first time in the game.

The Palace defender saw through Mata's intentions and intercepted Mata's pass to the right. Palace then launched a quick counter-attack, with Bolassi delivering a long ball over the top that broke through the United defence.

However, the ball was rubbed against Phil Jones' scalp and changed direction slightly, resulting in Crystal Palace striker Wickham not being able to hold the ball in an offside position.

Seeing that Crystal Palace would get a corner, Romero did not expect to show a hand at this time, he quickly rushed out of the small penalty area, grabbed the ball before it rolled out of the bottom line, and pressed it on the bottom line with one palm, avoiding the opportunity to give Crystal Palace a corner kick.

The Manchester United players on the pitch gave him a thumbs up for Romero's positive attitude, and the Manchester United players in the stands also gave him a round of applause.

For Manchester United, it is a very important thing for them to prevent them from getting set-pieces in front of Crystal Palace when they are struggling to get any chances in the open game. After all, for a team like Crystal Palace, set-pieces are an important weapon for them to score.

………………

Sergio Romero opened the goal, and Manchester United went through the backfield and brought the ball to the front of the field despite the pressure of Crystal Palace.

Anthony Martial cut inside after breaking through Cabaye and Ward's defence on the left and found no chance to get up to the bottom of the net when he arrived in the middle and continued to split the ball to the right.

Fellaini, who had moved to the right midfield, played the ball back to Mata, who in turn passed to Darmian, and after a link up the right flank, the ball was transferred to Schneiderlin, who was following him.

Schneiderlin continued to link up with Juan Mata in midfield, while Marcus Rashford up front pulled to the right to open a gap in the Crystal Palace defence.

Schneiderling saw the gap and fired a long-range shot from about thirty-five yards out. The ball was blocked by Jedinak and changed direction slightly and continued towards the goal.

Jedinak's block caught the Crystal Palace goalkeeper off guard, causing him to save the ball and get out of his hands.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the box at the moment, and Marcus Rashford had just pulled to the right and didn't have time to get back into the box. And Martial, who saw Hennessey pounce and get out of the box after getting rid of the ball, started a little slower, and the ball was pounced on by Hennessey, who had a good second reaction.

Crystal Palace's attack then ended with a foul on Ashley Young by Zaha. Ashley Young blocked Zaha behind him, which made Zaha a little anxious and kicked Ashley Young directly from behind, causing him to fall to the ground. In this way, he stepped forward to grab the ball, but unfortunately the referee's whistle blew.

………………

Manchester United continued to organise the attack, but whether it was Rashford's strong burst or Mata's pass, it was difficult to tear apart the Crystal Palace.

The delay in opening the situation made the Manchester United players a little anxious, and gradually all their members pressed over the halfway line.

However, in the 18th minute, there was a problem with all the players of Manchester United pressing up. At that time, Depay took the ball to break through the defense of Crystal Palace, but was tackled by Cabaye, and Crystal Palace immediately counterattacked.

Delaney sent a through ball from near the centre circle to break through the United defence, and Wickham slotted forward at high speed to get on the ball.

Seeing that Wickham was about to enter the penalty area, Blackett, who was defending him, had no choice but to foul. However, Blackett's foul was not thorough enough and Wickham immediately got up again to catch the ball.

However, referee Clattenburg stopped the game, which made Wickham, who scored the ball into the Manchester United goal, very unhappy, and he was furious, thinking that Clattenburg did not take care of the principle of attacking advantage.

However, Wickham forgot that the reason why he was able to easily hit the ball into the Manchester United goal was that Romero did not defend after seeing Clattenburg blow the whistle, otherwise he would not have been able to hit the ball into Romero's goal when he was close to the baseline.

But in general, Manchester United can be regarded as escaping, after all, in the assault just now, if it were replaced by the faster Borassie or Zaha, Blackett may not even have a chance to foul.

It was also a wake-up call for the United players that even if they were in control on the pitch, Palace were still capable of finding the back of the net if they got too carried away.

Fortunately, Blackett stopped Crystal Palace's attack with a foul and a yellow card.

………………

The free-kick from Crystal Palace was headed by Cabaye. Instead of a direct free-kick, he crossed it.

United's defence made another mistake when they allowed Jedinak to steal the spot in front of the post. Jedinak flicked his head at the goal and the ball went straight to the middle of the goal. Fortunately, Romero showed his strength as an Argentine goalkeeper and bravely lifted the ball over the crossbar.

Palace's corner was cleared by Marouane Fellaini's header down the middle, and then when Palace again organised the attack, the pass went wrong and the ball flew straight off the touchline.

The Manchester United players, who had been suppressed by Crystal Palace for a few minutes, were very unhappy and immediately launched a counterattack.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Schneiderling distributed the ball to the right near the halfway line, and after Mata received the ball, he saw that the defensive strength in front of him was relatively weak - the main defensive strength of Crystal Palace was placed on Rashford in the middle - Mata immediately made a kick with Darmian to the wall, past Crystal Palace's left-back Soare, and Mata pushed the ball from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area, only to be saved by Hennessey in the far corner.

United continued to press, with Anthony Martial's shot blocked from the left of the box and Schneiderling fired high from 30 yards. Juan Mata whipped in a corner and Fellaini's header from close range was blocked.

Palace also had occasional attacks, with Macarthur's header deflected wide and Borasie's long-range shot denied by Romero. Cabaye passes the ball and Wickham's shot from in front of the box is also wide of target.
