Comments:

League position: 18th This was the first time that Crystal Palace had ever led in a game against Manchester United in the Premier League (played 18, lost 15) but the first time they had lost a game in the Premier League after leading by two goals. The Eagles were now without a win in their last six games in the Premier League (lost four). Chris Smalling's goal was the 500th that Palace had conceded in the Premier League (played 341).

Comments:

League position: 2nd This was the first time that Manchester United had won a game in the Premier League after trailling by two goals since a 3-2 victory at Hull City on Boxing Day in 2013. In his 38th appearance for the club, Nemanja Matić scored his first goal for the Red Devils. United avoided losing three consecutive away games in the Premier League for the first time since January 1996.
