Romelu Lukaku Brace Pushes Manchester United Past Crystal Palace 3-1

Manchester United remained right on Arsenal's heels for fourth place in the Premier League, beating Crystal Palace 3-1 on Wednesday at Selhurst Park.

Romelu Lukaku was the hero, opening the scoring in the 33rd minute after Luke Shaw brilliantly beat several Crystal Palace defenders down the left wing to set up Lukaku for a cool finish.

Lukaku had his brace in the 52nd minute after Palace couldn't diffuse the pressure following a corner. Victor Lindelof headed the ball to Lukaku at the post and the talented striker hit a ridiculos volley to double the advantage.
