Crystal Palace secured a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring both goals on Sunday.
United’s woes were compounded by a serious injury to defender Lisandro Martinez, who was stretchered off in tears after sustaining a knee injury.
The incident caused a lengthy delay as medics attended to the Argentine international.
Martinez’s injury is a significant setback for United, as the defender previously endured a long spell on the sidelines after breaking his metatarsal in his debut season at the club.
