Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback victory at Crystal Palace, snatching a 2-1 win in the process. The visitors' recovery was spearheaded by Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount, who broke their respective goal droughts to seal the triumph.
In a game that had seemingly stalled in the first half, Palace's early lead courtesy of Wilfried Zaha's strike threatened to keep United at bay. However, Eric Bailly's unfortunate own goal midway through the second period set the stage for an epic turnaround.
The turning point came when Mount collected a well-worked free-kick and unleashed a powerful shot that found the bottom corner, sending the Manchester United faithful into raptures. The equalizer was just the catalyst needed to spark United's resurgence.
Zirkzee then broke his 12-month goal drought with a clinical finish in the 80th minute, securing the three points for Erik ten Hag's side and leaving Palace frustrated despite their spirited efforts.
The win marked Manchester United's second triumph on their current away run and further cements their status as one of the Premier League's most formidable teams.

I was doubting they'd turn it around after that own goal, but Palace just couldn't keep up with United's pressure! Eric Bailly should be like "what just happened?!" 
Eric Bailly's mistake changed the whole game, that's crazy. And Joshua Zirkzee is on fire now, 12 months without a goal and then this clinical finish in stoppage time? 
Mason Mount too, I love how he collected that free-kick and just went for it! Ten Hag must be so proud of his team right now 
I'm still reeling from that epic comeback 
! United really showed they're back on top, and Erik ten Hag's team playstyle is so inspiring 
. And Mason Mount, he's a legend 
! His free-kick goal was insane 
. I'm not surprised about Zirkzee breaking his drought, though - he's been looking sharp lately 
๏ธ. This win is a testament to United's squad depth and team chemistry 
. They're definitely the team to beat in the Premier League now 
. i mean, 2-1 is a big win, but what really gets me is how long it took them to get back into the game... like, first half was all one-sided and then they just switch gears mid-season 
. and don't even get me started on how many goal droughts were broken 
joshua zirkzee's 12-month drought is crazy. anyway, glad they got that win, but it's not like palace didn't have a good game... they were the ones who ended up frustrated 
guess that just goes to show how deep man utd's well is right now 
I mean, you gotta love a team that can turn it all around like that. Palace was looking sharp in the first half, but then United just clicked into gear and started creating chances galore.
But in the end, United's depth and determination proved too much for them.
. And then Mason Mount comes along and scores a beauty of a goal 
. 2 wins out of their last 4 away games is no joke, Erik ten Hag must be doing something right 
. They're now at 40 points and sitting pretty in 3rd place 
what a team effort, though. ten hag must be loving every minute of this win 
Just watched this match and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it! Manchester United came from behind like that? 
, i mean who breaks a 12-month goal drought with just one shot? 
and zirkzee's finish in the 80th minute was like he was born to score goals 
๏ธ, anyway, great win for man united and ten hag is getting more and more convincing as a manager every game 
still can't believe United came from behind like that... Erik ten Hag must be loving this win 
. That free-kick by Mason Mount was absolute magic 
๏ธ. United's away form has been pretty solid too, which bodes well for their chances in the Premier League.
!
. Erik ten Hag's squad is looking stronger by the minute, and I'm so hyped for what they'll achieve this season!

Those Manchester United players definitely started on the right foot when they got that equalizer! 
. And then Zirkzee seals it with a slick finish... I guess that's what happens when you've got quality players in your squad? 
Still, it's not easy to stay on top in the Premier League, so all credit to Erik ten Hag and the team for grinding out this win 
I'm literally still reeling from that match at Selhurst Park!!! 
Crystal Palace was giving it their all but Manchester United just wouldn't give up!!! 
I'm still getting goosebumps thinking about it. And Joshua Zirkzee breaking that drought with such style and finesse... what a player!!! 
their strategy worked like a charm, breaking palace's defense with clever passes and shots on goal
