In this week’s e-Crystal Palace Podcast, I review the game against Manchester United – where Palace saw their six-game unbeaten run come to an end – by bringing you my match report, player ratings as well as my Man of the Match.
Despite a decent fightback in the second half, Roy Hodgson’s side fell to defeat with goals either side of half time from Romelu Lukaku. Joel Ward netted Palace’s only goal midway through the second half, but United sealed the win when Ashley Young burst into the box to shatter any Palace comeback.
Who was at fault for United’s goals? Why do you think van Aanholt was taken off; tactical or injured based? Will we ever beat the Manchester club again in the league? How good was Joel Ward’s diving finish?
All this and more in this week’s e-Crystal Palace Podcast.
