The Austrian coach's side had been rampant rightfully went ahead by way of their forward's repeated spot-kick. Yet they were unable to capitalize on their control and having failed to net versus Palace, United struck back two times in quick succession through the Dutch forward and Mason Mount.

Frustrating Day for The Eagles

It was a frustrating encounter finishing of a long week for Glasner, who witnessed the Senegalese international limp off with a serious problem prior to the break.

Tactical Changes

Early Opportunities

Post-Interval Comeback

Henderson re-emerged wearing a cap to shield his eyes from the setting sun but he will be disappointed for permitting the visitors to equalise eight minutes post the break.

Glasner's team was unprepared by a quick Bruno Fernandes free-kick enabling the Dutchman to bring under control and swivel in the same movement to generate a strike that sailed into the far corner.

Match-Winning Moment
