Football News: Man Utd beat Crystal Palace 2–0 at Selhurst Park

Manchester United know two more wins from their final two games will be enough for a top-four finish in the Premier League after beating Crystal Palace 2-0, with the help of VAR. Goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial at Selhurst Park took them back level on points with fourth-placed Leicester City, who are set to play United on the final day. However, Palace were more than a match for their opponents, forcing David de Gea into five saves, and they had a goal overturned by VAR that would have made it 1-1 when Jordan Ayew was deemed to be an inch offside when turning home Wilfried Zaha's cross. This means seven goals which were originally awarded against United have been overturned by VAR this season, the joint-most of any side in the Premier League (alongside Southampton and Brighton). Zaha also was left frustrated when he had a legitimate penalty claim waved away in the first half when colliding with Victor Lindelof - a decision that drew criticism from Palace chairman Steve Parish on social media.
