Mateta was on fire, scoring two easy goals. The first came after a header hit the bar, and he tapped it in. His second was another simple finish after a great setup from his teammate.
Palace looked confident throughout the match. They took advantage of United’s shaky defense. It’s wild to see how far United has fallen. They used to intimidate teams, but now it’s the other way around.
The manager, Oliver Glasner, made a smart move by sticking to his 3-4-2-1 formation. He only changed one player from last week’s game. Mateta’s performance was the highlight, showing how much he’s improved over the past year.
Fans are buzzing about Mateta. He’s become one of the best strikers in the league. With two and a half years left on his contract, his value is skyrocketing.
There were a few moments of concern for Palace, especially in the first half. They were a bit slow to start and missed some chances. But overall, they played well and deserved the win.
After the game, there were some worries about Eberechi Eze. He walked off alone while his teammates celebrated. Hopefully, he’s just dealing with his foot injury and will be back soon.
Glasner praised his team’s effort. He noted that they had to weather some early pressure from United. But they stuck to their game plan and got the results they wanted. It was a great day for Palace fans!
