Michael Olise’s late leveller for the hosts was brilliantly struck, of course, but United’s opener was brilliant for a different reason.
Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Christian Eriksen combined to create a golden opportunity for Bruno Fernandes, and our Portuguese midfielder didn’t pass it up, hammering the ball beyond the helpless Vicente Guaita.
The goal epitomised everything that Erik ten Hag has been implementing at United, since he took charge in the summer: smooth passing, penetration, and clinical finishing.
Fernandes and summer arrival Eriksen have formed a superb relationship this season too, with Bruno’s goal at Selhurst Park the reverse of the opener in our last trip to London, when our no.
