opera.com 2024/5/19

Crystal Palace stunned Manchester United with a resplendent 4-0 victory at Selhurst Park, completing their first-ever Premier League double against the Red Devils.

According to a report by Flashscore, Michael Olise orchestrated the triumph with a sensational display, inspiring his team to their third successive win at home.

United's heavily weakened defense struggled from the outset, unable to contain Palace's effervescent attack. Within just 12 minutes, Olise capitalized on their vulnerability, dribbling past Christian Eriksen and Casemiro to slot home his eighth goal of the season. His relentless pursuit of another goal saw him thwarted once by a teammate before André Onana denied him in a one-on-one duel.

Despite United's attempts to rally, their efforts lacked conviction. A controversial decision disallowed Rasmus Højlund's header, further frustrating their offensive endeavors. Palace punished their opponents' impotence just before halftime, as Chris Richards initiated an attack culminating in Jean-Philippe Mateta's clinical finish past Onana.

The second half saw Palace's attacking prowess continue to flourish. Tyrick Mitchell and Will Hughes tested Onana, with Mitchell eventually finding the net from an Adam Wharton cross. Daniel Muñoz capitalized on a defensive error to set up Olise for his second goal, sealing the victory with a thunderous strike.

United failed to mount a meaningful response in the final stages, as Palace cruised to an emphatic win. The result marked United's heaviest defeat of the season and their 13th loss in a disastrous Premier League campaign.
