VAR drama lifts Manchester United to third after 2-1 win over Palace

Manchester United took a 2-1 lead at Old Trafford when Maxence Lacroix scored from a corner in the fourth minute. After a 52nd‑minute goal from Matheus Cunha, a VAR check awarded a penalty to United, which Bruno Fernandes converted. Benjamin Sesko then netted a late goal to seal the win.

The result lifts United to third place in the Premier League, while Crystal Palace remains in 15th. The match also saw Jørgen Strand Larsen substituted after a brief moment of confusion.
