Jean Philippe Mateta was the toast for his Crystal Palace side as he scored two second-half goals to help them secure a 2-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford this morning.

The win has seen Crystal Palace extend to a club-record eight wins away from home in the Premier League so far this season.

United’s loss at home has seen them dropped to 13th place and Palace moving up to 12th in the current Premier League standings.

They have now also lost 7 of their first 13 league home matches this season, which is their joint-most at this stage of a league campaign since 1893-1894.

Meanwhile, in other round 24 matches, Nottingham Forest thrashed Brighton 7-0, Fulham edged Newcastle 2-1, Everton thumped Leicester City 4-0, Southampton beat Ipswich Town 2-1, Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 2-0, Wolves beat Aston Villa 2-0, and Tottenham overcame Brentford 2-0.
