  • #CRYMUN: So United are still mathematically very much in the title race with 19 games left to play. Not exactly the result Erik ten Hag and his men would've wanted but hey....it's football, anything can happen - especially in the Premier League. Crystal Palace can also find some positives from this result heading into the second half of the season. That's it from my end. Thank you for joining me. I'll see you some other time.
  • Social Media Reactions: Here's how fans have been reacting on social media to the result #CRYMUN
  • #CRYMUN Here's how the Premier League standings look after that draw at Selhurst Park. So, Manchester United go level on points with local rivals Manchester City, while Crystal Palace remain as they were in 12th position.

  • #CRYMUN Let's have a look one more time at that brilliant leveller from Olise.
  • #CRYMUN Manchester United were inches away from sealing their 10th consecutive victory, but Michael Olise's free kck ended all hopes as the Red Devils were made to share the spoils at Selhurst Park.
  • #CRYMUN Full time reactions in a bit........
  • FULL TIME!! Crystal Palace have stolen a point at the last minute. And Manchester United's winning streak ends at 9. It's finished Crystal Palace 1-1 Manchester United at Selhurst Park.
  • #CRYMUN' 90+3 Aaron Wan-Bissaka makes a terrific recovery to stop Zaha from shooting in the box.
  • GOAL!!!⚽ 90+1' CRYSTAL PALACE: Michael Olise levels from a beautiful free kick. David de Gea no chance. It's 1-1. Four minutes of added time has been shown.
  • #CRYMUN 88' Nervy closing stages here. Will United hold on or will the Eagles strike? They have a free kick from a good position.
  • 🟨#CRYMUN 80' Yellow Card for Casemiro after a foul on Zaha. Casemiro has now picked up his fifth card in the PL this season and will miss the match against Arsenal. Ten Hag looks gutted.
  • #CRYMUN 79' I'm sorry guys...I just had to see that save from De Gea once more. Meanwhile, it's fair to say Crystal Palace have grown into the game. They are really going at the visistors now.
  • #CRYMUN 74' Goodness me!! What a save from David de Gea once more. He's been so brilliant all game tonight.
  • #CRYMUN 73' Scott McTominay and Zaha getting into an altercation. A free kick has been given Palace's way.
  • #CRYMUN 70' Patrick Vieira has made two changes as well with Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp coming on for Edouard and Doucoure. They need to find a way to score surely.
  • #CRYMUN 69' Wout Werghost comes off for Scott McTominay, while Antony comes off for Alejandro Garnacho. Crystal Palace still trailing though.
  • #CRYMUN 66' We know Bruno Fernandes got the goal but seriously Casemiro is the unsung hero today. He's really made this team look different. A very valuable addition by Erik ten Hag. United just look like they have the mentality to keep on winning.
  • #CRYMUN 63' Marcus Rashford looks desperate to make it 8 out of 8. But he would need to start shooting better. Another chance missed for United. They still lead 1-0.
  • #CRYMUN 62' Crystal Palace are seeing more of the ball in the second half. It's 54%-46% so far since the restart.
  • #CRYMUN 59' Eberechi Eze sees his ambitious attempt sail well wide of the target. How will Palace respond? United have a free kick in the centre circle.
  • #CRYMUN 55' United fans have been reacting to that goal in the first half on social media.
  • #CRYMUN The Second Half is already underway. It's Crystal Palace 0-1 Manchester United. Bruno Fernandes' strike the difference so far.
  • GOAL!!!⚽ MANCHESTER UNITED: Bruno Fernandes opens the scoring in the 44th minute to give Man U a 1-0 lead. #CRYMUN
  • #CRYMUN Well from a neutral point of view, Palace can be happy that they haven't conceded in the opening 20 minutes here. But they haven't really troubled the Red Devils' defence either.
  • #CRYMUN 22' Antony comes close but his effort only finds the side netting.
  • He's back now. Turns out just a change of shirt was what he needed.
  • #CRYMUN 18 minutes gone, Lisandro Martinez is receiving treatment after a clash of heads. Red Devils can hope it's not too serious.
  • #CRYMUN 15' United come close again. This time Luke Shaw's volley misses the target. Still goalless here.
  • #CRYMUN 10 minutes gone and Marcus Rashford wastes a good opportunity to open the scoring for Manchester United. Sill 0-0.
  • #CRYMUN Manchester United have looked dangerous on the counter and they look the likeliest side to open the scoring here. Palace haven't quite grown into the contest yet. Misplaced passes here and there.
  • #CRYMUN Seven minutes played and Marcus Rashford nearly made his usual magic happen after darting into the Palace box.
  • #CRYMUN Four minutes played so far, and neither side has had an attempt at goal yet. 
  • Will the Eagles be able to stage an upset or will the Red Devils continue in their fine start to the New Year?
  • KICK OFF!!! And we're underway at Selhurst Park.  A win for Erik ten Hag's men will see them go just six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
  • KICK OFF is at Selhurst Park and we're just minutes away from the action.
