HEARTBREAK AT SELHURST PARK! 😱 United Fall 2-1 to Crystal Palace After 97th-Minute Nketiah Stunner
Manchester United’s nightmare season took another brutal twist tonight as Eddie Nketiah snatched a dramatic 97th-minute winner to give Crystal Palace a 2-1 victory — just moments after it looked like United had salvaged a point.
It was a rollercoaster ending. Federico Chiesa, who came off the bench, thought he had rescued the Reds with a brilliant 87th-minute equaliser, sparking wild celebrations in the away end. United pushed for more, sensing momentum had shifted.
But deep into stoppage time, disaster struck. A lapse in defending allowed Palace one last break, and Nketiah — calm under pressure — slotted past the keeper to seal a stunning win for the Eagles.
The final whistle left United players crumpled on the pitch, the fans in stunned silence, and manager Rúben Amorim raging on the touchline.
For United, it’s yet another cruel blow in a season already marred by late collapses and missed opportunities. For Palace, it’s a famous night — proof that under the lights at Selhurst, anything can happen.
