Crystal Palace 4-0 Manchester United

Crystal Palace pulled off a historic feat by securing their first-ever Premier League double over Manchester United with an impressive 4-0 victory at Selhurst Park. Michael Olise was the star of the show, inspiring Palace to their third consecutive win at home.

Manchester United's weakened defense struggled to contain Palace's energetic attack, and it didn't take long for Olise to make his mark. His skillful play left defenders Christian Eriksen and Casemiro helpless as he found the back of the net in just 12 minutes. Despite his initial attempt being blocked, Olise continued to threaten, only to be denied by goalkeeper André Onana in a one-on-one situation.

United's attempts to fight back were lackluster, with a controversial disallowed goal adding to their frustration. Palace capitalized on their opponent's weaknesses, with Jean-Philippe Mateta doubling the lead before halftime with a superb strike.

The second half saw Palace's dominance continue, with Mitchell adding a third goal after a brilliant cross from Adam Wharton. Olise then sealed the victory with a thunderous strike, further highlighting Palace's superiority.

Manchester United failed to mount a significant response, resulting in their heaviest defeat of the season and their 13th loss in the Premier League campaign. Meanwhile, Palace fans have reasons to be optimistic about the future under their rejuvenated manager, Oliver Glasner, as they look ahead to the next season.
