Match Report

Crystal Palace stunned Manchester United with a 2-1 win at Old Trafford thanks to Patrick van Aanholt's injury-time winner.

Daniel James appeared to have earned United a point with an 89th-minute equaliser.

But David de Gea couldn't keep out Van Aanholt's drive as Palace claimed their first win of the new Premier League season.

United had fallen behind in the first half to Jordan Ayew's breakaway goal before Marcus Rashford missed a penalty on a deeply frustrating afternoon for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team.

32' GOAL! Man Utd 0-1 Crystal Palace (Ayew)

Where did United's defence go?

It's a long kick from the back, Lindelof is too easily beaten in the air, and suddenly Ayew finds himself clear on goal. Calm finish. De Gea beaten. Old Trafford stunned. 

51' No penalty? Martial taken down in the box!

Martial turns Kelly to slip into the box and surely he is being pulled over as the United forward shoots towards goal!

But the referee is unmoved - and so, more importantly, these days, is VAR!

66' Penalty for United...

And it's a clear-cut offence as McTominay is bundled over after bursting into the box.

70' Penalty Missed! (Rashford)

Rashford's spot-kick slaps against the inside of the post and flies wide!

79' Another penalty call & another denial!

Rashford is down in the box under a challenge from Kelly and VAR says No penalty! 

89' GOAL! Man Utd 1-1 Crystal Palace (Daniel James)

Lovely finish!

James brings United level by curling in a perfect shot into the far corner.

93' GOAL! Man Utd 1-2 Crystal Palace (Van Aanholt)

Would you believe it?!

Zaha drives deep into the United area, the ball falls for van Aanholt and De Gea can't keep out his fierce drive.
