Manchester United staged a dramatic comeback at Crystal Palace, as Joshua Zirkzee broke his 12-month Premier League goal drought to hand the Red Devils a 2-1 victory.
Zirkzee's equalizer marked the end of a goalless first half, in which Palace had held the upper hand. However, Mason Mount would prove to be the hero with four minutes remaining on the clock, scoring from a well-worked free-kick that left goalkeeper Vicente Guaita grasping at thin air.
The United midfielder's goal marked his first Premier League strike of the season and sent the away crowd into raptures. The triumph extends Manchester United's unbeaten run to five games in all competitions, while Palace remain winless on home turf this term.
For Palace, the match represents a significant setback as they struggle to find consistency in their campaign so far.

. And let's be real, that free-kick by Mount was pure magic! It just goes to show that with determination and teamwork, we can overcome any obstacle. Palace might be having a tough patch right now, but they'll bounce back 
. The thing is, it's not about winning or losing, it's about how we respond to the situation. Let's take a cue from United and keep pushing forward! 
They totally came from behind and still managed to snatch the win. I mean, Joshua Zirkzee breaking his drought like that must be such a relief for him, you know? The momentum in that game shifted completely after Mason Mount scored with 4 minutes left on the clock. That free-kick was insane! 
It's crazy how some matches can go from a 0-0 draw to pure chaos in just a few minutes. Palace is definitely feeling the sting of this loss, and it's tough for them right now because they've been struggling with consistency. For United, though, this win should give them a huge confidence boost going forward! 
i was on the edge of my seat when mason mount scored that freekick!! he's like a magician out there 
zirkzee's goal was a relief for united, they've been struggling to break down defences all season. and palace just can't seem to get it right at home, 5 games without a win is a huge concern 
they need to sort themselves out pronto or else the relegation battle will be over before it begins 
. anyway, back to the match... palace deserved that win, they were so possession-based and controlled the pace of the game for like 45 minutes... but ugh, these forums are just a total waste of time 
... who needs to read all these pointless comments from people who think they're experts on football? 
I mean, who doesn't love an underdog story? Manchester United coming back from behind is like that one movie where the hero never gives up 
). Palace might be feeling down about this loss, but let's not forget they're still learning and growing. Every team has ups and downs, even the top ones 
. Plus, Manchester United is on fire right now 
, so I'm hyped to see what they do next! The more games like this, the better off the Premier League gets 
.
meanwhile mount just chimes in with a beauty of a free kick, what a difference a player makes! 
. And what's up with Palace's defense? They're supposed to be home turf, so you'd think they'd have it locked down by now... must be more to the story than just a straightforward 2-1 loss 
.
and mason mount's free-kick goal was insane!!! 
the way united came from behind to win it all was just incredible... i can imagine how emotional that must've been for the fans who were cheering them on 
it's also super sad for Crystal Palace, they're really struggling to find their footing this season 
but hey at least they showed some fight and determination in that match 
. I mean, 4 minutes from time and he slots it home like nothing's happening 
. It's exactly the kind of moment that gets your heart racing as a parent watching with my kids on the weekend... they'd be going wild if we were at Old Trafford! 
. I feel for them, but you can't help but love the drama and comebacks that United are known for 
. Maybe it's time for them to shake things up in their squad? My kid's always asking why they don't have more exciting players on the pitch... guess I'll have to explain some of the Premier League politics to him later 
.
Manchester united's comeback was insane! zirkzee coming off the bench and breaking his drought is just incredible. palace were having it all over them but united dug deep and pulled off an epic win 
I'm literally SHAKING over that comeback by Manchester United!!! 
! And can we talk about Zirkzee for a sec? 
palace are really struggling at home though, hope they sort themselves out soon. maybe they can learn from united's squad depth and bench strength?
