Bruno Fernandes led Manchester United to a dramatic 2-1 victory over a ten-man Crystal Palace side on Sunday, first converting from the spot before setting up Benjamin Sesko with a freekick the striker headed in. The comeback win lifted the hosts to third place in the Premier League table.
Interim boss Michael Carrick’s unbeaten run since his appointment in mid-January stretched to seven matches, his side now sitting on 51 points from 28 games.
Palace slumped to 14th, stuck on 35.
United looked sluggish to begin with as Palace struck after four minutes, Maxence Lacroix muscling past Leny Yoro to power home a header from a corner, the earliest goal the home side have conceded all season.
United improved after the break and in the 57th minute, Fernandes hauled them level from the spot after Matheus Cunha was dragged down by Lacroix, who was shown a red card.
Eight minutes later, Sesko completed the turnaround, leaping to head home Fernandes’ freekick.
