Man Utd defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 at Old Trafford as a result of Casemiro’s careless red card, which converted an easy victory into a thrilling conclusion.
Bruno Fernandes’ early penalty and Marcus Rashford’s deft strike gave United a 2-0 lead before the Brazilian was sent out after a VAR review for putting his hands around Will Hughes’ neck.
However, after being reduced to 10 men after Jeffrey Schlupp’s goal giving Palace a chance to rally, they faltered and nearly cost themselves the match in the waning seconds.
Both Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze came close to extending Palace’s unbeaten streak against United to three games, but United persevered to eke out a 13th straight victory at home.
