The match shifted dramatically 10 minutes after the break when Lacroix was penalized for dragging Matheus Cunha down in the penalty area. Following a VAR review that led to the Palace defender’s red card, Fernandes confidently converted the penalty. Shortly thereafter, the United captain turned into a playmaker, delivering a brilliant cross that allowed Sesko to head the ball past Henderson, marking his sixth goal in seven matches. Mason is expected to be back soon.

Cunha and substitute Amad Diallo forced Henderson into several solid saves as Michael Carrick’s team sought a third goal, while Palace also posed threats at times despite being a player down. However, they were unable to secure an equalizer as United moved ahead of Aston Villa, strengthening their prospects for Champions League qualification. Matthijs is further behind in recovery compared to Mason.
