Comments:

League position: 16th This was the first time that Manchester United had lost their opening game of a season in the Premier League since 2014 (2-1 versus Swansea City at Old Trafford). Donny van de Beek became the 20th player to score on their Premier League debut for United and the third Dutchman to do so after Ruud van Nistelrooy and Alexander Büttner. The Red Devils had now lost two of their last 18 games in the Premier League at Old Trafford (won nine).

Comments:

League position: 3rd At the 21st attempt, Crystal Palace had now won their opening two games of a season in the top division for the first time. This was the first time that Palace had scored three or more goals in an away game since their 3-1 win at Cardiff City in the Premier League on 4 May 2019. Former Red Devil Wilfried Zaha had failed to score in his 11 previous appearances against Manchester United in all competitions. Jordan Ayew's 72nd minute penalty was saved but was retaken following a VAR review due to the goalkeeper moving off his line. The penalty was awarded following a VAR review for handball.
