  • ANDROS IN ACTION

    Andros Townsend opened the goalscoring this evening, and he's been reflecting on the result, his side's start to the season and his new captain.

    “We know we’ve got quality in the squad. We showed it at times last season, and this season we’ve added one or two good young players.

    “We knew it was United’s first game and we thought maybe we could catch them cold. We did that in the first five minutes, and once we get ahead, we know we're a very well drilled team.

    “(Wilfried Zaha was) Incredible. He’s an incredible talent and he’s proved that here for the last six or seven years. He captained the side today, and it was a real captain’s performance. We’re very fortunate to have him in our ranks and hopefully we can have him for a while longer yet.”

    87. The visitors look as though they are going to break away and score each time they win possession of the ball.

  • On his return to Old Trafford and in his first game as captain, Wilfried Zaha has a double.

    The forward outmuscled Lindelof to receive Schlupp's pass in from the left, but still had plenty to do.

    Turning quickly, Zaha unleashes a fierce low drive that that beats De Gea and thumps into the back of the net.

    The Eagles are heading for another famous Old Trafford win!

  • It's a change of penalty taker for the retake and, on his return to Old Trafford, Wilfried Zaha doubles Crystal Palace's lead!

    The Palace captain fires high into the roof of the net as De Gea goes the same way as moments earlier.

    If the initial decision to award the penalty was harsh, the one to award a second spotkick was ridiculous.

    De Gea had barely moved from his line prior to Ayew's strike, but between VAR and the new directive, play was promptly called back for a retake.
