FT: Man Utd 1-3 Palace. What a dreadful start for the Red Devils. Zaha nets a double to add to Townsend's opener. Van De Beek came off then bench to net on his debut, and although there was VAR controversy over the penalty for Palace's second goal, Hodgson's men were well worth their win.
Six minutes have been added.
It's going to be an uncomfortable media conference for OGS.
Palace change: Milivojevic on for McCarthy.

Big trouble for United. They will be unhappy with the officials here, but Palace are worth a two-goal lead.

Penalty
W. Zaha
PENALTY SAVED! Ayew is too casual as he steps up and sees his low effort easily parried by De Gea... but wait! VAR checks De Gea's position on the line. It will be retaken.
PENALTY TO PALACE! After a long delay, Atkinson points to the spot for Lindelof's hand touching Ayew's flicked shot.
Martin Atkinson is going to the side to take a look at the potential hand ball...
Palace's rapid front men threaten again. Ayew jinks into the box, but his bizarre flick hits Lindelof on the arm and drops kindly for De Gea. VAR checks for a penalty....
