Crystal Palace Thrash Manchester United at Selhurst Park (Match Report - First Half)

Eagles Soar as Red Devils Falter

Crystal Palace delivered a dominant first-half performance against Manchester United at Selhurst Park, taking a commanding 2-0 lead at the break. The Eagles were sharp from the opening whistle, putting United under immense pressure and capitalizing on defensive frailties. Manchester United, lacking their usual spark, failed to register a single shot on target in the first 45 minutes.

Early Pressure from Palace

The home side started brightly, dictating the tempo and denying United any space to build attacks. A flowing move in the 57th minute exemplified Palace's dominance. Michael Olise drove the ball forward with pace before finding Eberechi Eze. Eze, in turn, fed the ball to Tyrick Mitchell, who unleashed a powerful shot that forced a diving save from Andre Onana.

Double Blow for United

Crystal Palace's relentless pressure paid dividends in the 12th minute. Michael Olise showcased his individual brilliance, cutting inside Casemiro and slotting the ball past David de Gea's replacement, Andre Onana. The Eagles doubled their lead just before half-time through Jean-Philippe Mateta. The striker latched onto a loose ball behind the United defense and unleashed a thunderous strike past Onana, leaving the Red Devils with a mountain to climb in the second half.

United's Missed Opportunities

United had a glimmer of hope in the 53rd minute when Christian Eriksen whipped in a free-kick. Casemiro rose highest to meet the cross but his header was ruled out for offside after he drifted into the box too early. Shortly after, Diogo Dalot laid off the ball to Antony, who cut inside and fired a shot straight at Onana, Manchester United's only real attempt of the half.

History Stacks Against United
