Crystal Palace, inspired by a dazzling performance from Michael Olise, ran riot against a disjointed and uninspired Manchester United outfit. Olise opened the scoring with a brilliant individual effort before setting up Jean-Philippe Mateta for Palace’s second. Tyrick Mitchell added a third shortly after halftime, and Olise capped off a magnificent night with a stunning fourth goal.
The defeat highlighted United’s ongoing defensive frailties, with the makeshift center-back pairing of Casemiro and Andre Onana ruthlessly exposed by Palace’s pace and movement in attack. United’s own attack was toothless, failing to consistently trouble the home side’s defense.

Arsenal currently holds a commanding lead at the top, and the focus for United now turns towards securing any form of European football for next season.
