CRYSTAL PALACE 4-0 MANCHESTER UNITED: Michael Olise inspired Crystal Palace to a thumping victory over a below-par Manchester United to raise the pressue on Erik ten Hag
Manchester United 's misery continued as they limped to a defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday night to stay eighth in the league with three games to go.
Olise opened the scoring inside 15 minutes, slicing through the United backline with ease before finding the bottom corner of Andre Onana's net. The visitors thought they were level when Casemiro's looping header landed in Dean Henderson's net, only for the goal to be ruled out for a foul on Henderson by Rasmus Hojlund.
Mateta's goal means he's now scored in six straight home games for Crystal Palace. He's scored nine since Oliver Glasner was appointed in February, having netted just three times in the league before then. In the absence of the Portuguese, United's midfield three of Christian Eriksen, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount struggled to gain a foothold in the game. Indeed, Eriksen and Mainoo in particular were left exposed as Olise faced little resistance on his route through for the opener.
While injuries have been a concern, Olise's form and raw talent puts him on a trajectory which would make him a match for most when he hits his peak. For context, he's younger than England pair Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka, while France's wide options Ousmane Dembele and Kingsley Coman have a good few years on him.
