DBasia.news – Manchester United managed to win when they met Crystal Palace on matchday 22 of the 2022-2023 Premier League. Playing at Old Trafford, The Red Devils managed to secure three points after winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Bruno Fernandes (7′) and Marcus Rashford (62′), while Palace were only able to reply through Jeffrey Schlupp (76′)
In the second half, in the 70th minute, United were forced to play with ten players as Casemiro received a red card from the referee for choking Will Hughes when a commotion broke out on the sidelines. From then on, the Red Devils were literally forced by Palace to defend, but the home team were able to maintain their lead.
This victory keeps United third in the standings with a collection of 42 points in 21 matches, three points behind Manchester City and eight points from Arsenal who are at the top. Meanwhile, The Eagles are stuck in 12th place in the standings with 24 points from 21 matches.
Casemiro’s send off was the first direct red card he received while playing in Europe’s top five leagues (336 games for Real Madrid and 30 for Manchester United in all competitions).
The Red Devils will next host Leeds United in the Premier League on Thursday (9/2), while Palace will face Brighton on Saturday (11/2) evening WIB.
