Red Devils Hit For Four As Palace Complete First League Double Over United In Their History

WEB Palace 4-0 Man United: Nightmare for ten Hag as Eagles soar

Red Devils hit for four as Palace complete first league double over United in their history

Michael Olise scored a brace of goals as Crystal Palace completed a Premier League double over Manchester United for the first time in their history with a resounding 4-0 victory at Selhurst Park on Wednesday. The Eagles, who had won 1-0 at Old Trafford earlier this season, were rampant against a United side that never recovered from conceding an early goal to Jeffrey Schlupp. Olise doubled Palace's lead before the break, and the Frenchman added a third with a stunning free-kick in the second half. Marc Guehi completed the rout in stoppage time to make it a miserable night for United manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman had guided his side to victory in the Carabao Cup on Sunday, but this was a chastening defeat that leaves United third in the Premier League table, four points adrift of leaders Arsenal. For Palace, it was a statement win that moved them up to 12th place and will give them hope of a strong finish to the season.

The victory was also a special moment for Palace manager Patrick Vieira, who was a key member of the Arsenal team that won the Premier League title in 1998. Vieira was full of praise for his players after the game, saying: "I'm very proud of the performance of the players. We played with a lot of courage and belief, and we created a lot of chances.

"We knew that Man United are a good team, but we were confident that we could beat them. We worked hard in training all week, and we were ready for the game." United, meanwhile, had no answer to Palace's attacking threat. They were defensively shaky throughout the game, and they never really looked like getting back into the contest after conceding the early goal. Ten Hag was visibly frustrated with his team's performance after the game, saying: "I'm very disappointed with the result. We didn't play well, and we made too many mistakes." United will need to improve quickly if they are to challenge for the Premier League title this season. They have another tough game on Sunday, when they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool.
