In a stunning upset, Crystal Palace dominated Manchester United 4-0 in a Premier League match at Selhurst Park. Michael Olise opened the scoring for the Eagles with a spectacular individual effort, before Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi added to the lead in the second half. Jeffrey Schlupp completed the rout in stoppage time to secure a historic victory for the home side.

The result leaves United languishing in sixth place with just two wins from their first six games, while Palace moved up to 12th place with seven points from their opening matches.

It was a miserable day for United, who were second best throughout the game. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side lacked creativity and struggled to create clear-cut chances. Harry Maguire was particularly poor in defense, and he was at fault for Palace's second goal.

In contrast, Palace were excellent. They defended well and were dangerous on the counterattack. Olise was a constant threat, and Mateta and Guehi were clinical with their finishing.

The victory is a major boost for Palace manager Patrick Vieira. The Frenchman has overseen a significant improvement in the team's performances since taking over in the summer, and he will be hoping that this result can be a springboard for a successful season.
