Crystal Palace celebrated a historic win over Manchester United, with Patrick van Aanholt securing all three points for the Eagles at Old Trafford.
The win, which is Palace’s first over United in the Premier League, was scored with almost the last kick of the game thanks to a David de Gea howler.
Palace fans have been reacting to the news on social media, with many loving the result over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
@HLTCO thinks that it is unbelievably Palace to start the season with defeat and then to beat Manchester United.

Read Crystal Palace’s Verdict
There may have been a bit of luck in the goal, but you can’t take this away from Crystal Palace.
What. A. Win.
Nobody could have seen this coming after the dismal showing in Yorkshire last week, with the Eagles looking second best to Sheffield United.
Roy Hodgson will certainly be looking for Palace to keep this form going.
