Crystal Palace v Manchester United: Premier League – liveNEWS | 30 November 20256m ago 07.53 EST Half-time: Crystal Palace 1-0 Manchester United Palace should really be 2-0 up, but United still have a chance to rescue this game if they get their act together. Share
6m ago 07.52 EST 45+3 min: De Ligt slips at the crucial moment and Nketiah races clean through on goal from the half-way line. There is initially no United player within 15 yards of the Palace striker, but Nketiah takes an age to steady himself as he approaches Lammens, and Shaw comes out of nowhere to make a huge last-ditch tackle! Credit to Shaw but Nketiah simply dallied way too long on that. A massive chance for Palace to double their lead goes begging. Share Updated at 07.53 EST
10m ago 07.49 EST 45 min: Five minutes added on here. United need to regroup at half-time. Share
10m ago 07.48 EST 42 min: Wharton has been the best player on the pitch this half and slides in to dispossess Mount. I know that Elliott Anderson has been excellent for Forest and England this season but Wharton has to be pushing to be the starter for England in central midfield.

14m ago 07.45 EST 40 min: “Utterly ludicrous challenge from Yoro,” emails Joshua Keeling. “United haven’t been brilliant, but they’d looked comfortable up to that point. They’ll probably go on to lose this now. If they do, Amorim will get the blame, but how is a tackle like that his fault? I would argue that United got exactly what they deserved. Palace have had at least half-a-dozen good chances, including Mateta’s one-on-one that he should have buried. Yes, Yoro is massively at fault for that tackle, but the pressure applied by Palace has been almost constant. United have looked dangerous from set pieces – they have scored 32% of their goals this season from corners – but nobody would say that they have been the better side here, and Amorim must have some responsibility for that, especially against a side that is also playing 3-4-3. One-nil to Palace feels fair to me. Share
18m ago 07.41 EST 38 min: It looks like Sarr has not recovered from that earlier injury, and the Senegalese – another one who should depart for Afcon in a few weeks – is replaced by Eddie Nketiah in Palace’s first substitution. Share
20m ago 07.39 EST GOAL! Crystal Palace 1-0 Manchester United (Mateta 36) Always an awkward one, retaking a penalty. Does one go the same way? Mateta sidefoots the ball into the opposite corner, to Lammens’ left and Palace have a well-deserved lead. The United keeper had no chance.

21m ago 07.37 EST MATETA SCORES BUT WILL HAVE TO RETAKE THE PENALTY! Mateta scores the penalty, but replays show that he kicked the ball into his standing foot as he took the spot kick.

23m ago 07.35 EST PENALTY TO PALACE! Wharton unlocks the United defence with a tin-opener of a pass, Mateta gets beyond Yoro, who stumbles into the Palace striker. Mateta hits the deck, referee Robert Jones points to the spot, and the square root of nobody can have any complaints. Share
25m ago 07.33 EST 29 min: Mason Mount has been busy for United, in a good way. Share
29m ago 07.30 EST 25 min: Great block from Yoro to deny Pino! Munoz delivers a peach of a cross to the back post, Lammens flaps but only tips the ball to the feet of Pino. With Lammens scrambling to his feet, and United defenders clambering to guard the goal, Yoro throws himself in front of Palace’s Spaniard, with Pino’s shot rebounding away. ShareAuthor: Source
