A finish composed by Marcus Rashford brought the Reds ahead in the first half, before Anthony Martial secured the points in Selhurst Park with a strike in the second period.
Front-three firepower
Martial, Rashford and Mason Greenwood have scored a total of 60 times each other this season, after Anthony and Marcus both scored 22 campaign goals on Thursday evening. The Frenchman has now found the net on 12 occasions in all competitions in 2020 – more than any other Premier League player.
Another record for De Gea
Having recently passed Peter Schmeichel’s appearance for a United player outside of the United Kingdom and Ireland, David De Gea has now equaled Denmark’s total empty games for the club in the Premier League. The Spaniard made several impressive saves against the Eagles to match Schmeichel’s 112 game radius in the competition without conceding – the most notable is a stretch to keep Luka Milivojevic’s free kick, which seemed destined for the top corner, out half-time-time.
