Andros Townsend got a bit of luck to open the scoring, as his shot deflected off Victor Lindelof, giving David de Gea no chance to save it.
United were sloppy and Palace worked hard to make things difficult for them and deserved to go in 1-0 up at half-time.
Soon after the break, a quick free-kick from Jeffrey Schlupp played in Patrick van Aanholt and the full-back drove into the United box and fired past De Gea to make it 2-0.
Chris Smalling ‘s free header got United back into the game to make it 2-1 and despite some heroic Palace defending, United made it 2-2 when Romelu Lukaku kept his cool after the ball came off the bar. He took his time and drilled home.
Palace looked like holding onto a point but in injury time, Nemanja Matic scored an amazing goal. The ball fell to the Serbian and he drilled it home on the half-volley to break Palace hearts.
