Manchester United's hopes of a comeback were dashed as Crystal Palace secured a thrilling 2-1 victory at Old Trafford on August 24, 2019.

Patrick van Aanholt scored in the 93rd minute, capitalizing on Wilfried Zaha's burst forward as the ball broke loose.

The late drama followed Daniel James's equalizing goal in the 89th minute, which was set up by a neat build-up from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

However, Rashford's earlier penalty miss will be a point of contention, as he struck the post from the spot-kick, the second missed penalty for the Red Devils in a week.

Crystal Palace had taken the lead in the first half through Jordan Ayew, who latched onto Jeffrey Schlupp's flick-on and coolly converted the opener.
