Crystal Palace came back at Old Trafford to claim all three points in more important match after losing the Carabao Cup round to the Red Devils just days ago.

Manchester United failed to repeat their previous performance against Palace as Hodgson outsmarted Erik ten Hag on his second visit to Old Trafford.

Having held United to a cleansheet, Palace managed to net the only goal of the game following fine cross from Eberechi Eze.

According to Crystal Palace Manager, Erik ten Hag actually fell into a trap by repeating something he did during the first leg. Sofyan Amrabat was the leak according to Hodgson.

“The first leg showed us important things about this club and how to beat them and we are happy we took good advantage of that,” the 76-year-old said.

“We focused more on suppressing the pressure they will bring and we were more careful today concerning our post so as to not concede silly goals, we will look forward to the next fixture.”
