They had the superior game and were ready to grab all three points. But fate and Olise had other ideas. Manchester United lost the golden opportunity to close the gap on the top of the EPL table. Palace forced them to share the point and squash their team to get past City after that amazing derby win.
Fernanded scored a goal in the first half. He has been sensational for the United side for a few years now. Palace equalised right at the end at extra time.With the win Palace are three points clear of Nottingham forest at 12th place in the table.
United must be fuming at the lost opportunity as they face the league leader Arsenal next. That will be a huge match for both sides. Arsenal will be looking to build on the winning momentum while United will look to stop the leaders and reduce the gap. No matter what, it will be an interesting game of football for neutral fans.
The ongoing game between City and Spurs is also crucial for the top of the table. City wins and they close the gap and move away from United but Spurs sharing a point or winning will make it difficult for Pepe to chase the leaders. It is 1-1 at the moment.
