Manchester United had to battle from 2-0 down to snatch all three points in their trip to Crystal Palace last night.
Andros Townsend fired Crystal Palace ahead after 11 minutes before Patrick van Aanholt doubled their tally just after half-time.
But Chris Smalling kick-started Manchester United’s comeback with his 55th minute strike.
Romelu Lukaku equalised 14 minutes from time before Nemanja Matic scored a stunning stoppage-time winner to ensure Manchester United leapfrog Liverpool back into second in the Premier League.

And manager Mourinho was a wash with emotions throughout United’s incredible comeback, first kicking an empty water bottle in frustration, inadvertently sent it flying into Crystal Palace supporters.
And then hilariously tripping over in the United dugout as he urged his side to push for a winner.
The Portugese manager saw the funny side as he went head over heels and appeared to share a joke with a member of Crystal Palace staff before sheepishly taking a seat.

But after the impressive comeback, Mourinho admitted his side needed a bit of luck to break down a resilient Eagles side.
“I always believe we can win. I will be like that until my last day,” said United boss Jose Mourinho.
“You always need that little bit of luck to win a match in the last few minutes.
“Sometimes the winner is the one who deserves the congratulations but I think Roy Hodgson did everything right."
