On Saturday, „Manchester United“ started the „Premier“ league season missing the first round. „The Red Devils“ suffered a painful lesson in their first season match at home, losing 1:3 to „Crystal Palace“ footballers. The guests started the game much more actively and took the lead in the 7th minute after a goal by Andros Townsend. „Man Utd“ later took control of the game, but couldn't equalize in the first half. In the second half, „Crystal Palace“ although rarely controlled the ball, created much more dangerous opportunities in front of the opponent's goal, and in the 72nd minute, Jordan Ayew earned a penalty kick, which he failed to convert himself. However, after a VAR review, the referee allowed the penalty to be retaken, and Wilfried Zaha doubled the guests' lead. In the 80th minute, „Man Utd“ revived hope after a substitution showed the team's newcomer Donny van de Beek, but just five minutes later, W. Zaha scored the final nail in the coffin in these matches against "The Red Devils“. This was already the second victory of Roy Hodgson's team this season.
