Crystal Palace ran riot against Manchester United on Monday night, putting four past the visitors at Selhurst Park.
It took just 13 minutes for the in-form Eagles to punish the visitors. With fear in their eyes, the Red Devils defence backed off Michael Olise, who didn't need a second invitation to clip the ball past Andre Onana from the edge of the box.
Crystal Palace nearly repaid the favour with an error in their own penalty box as a weak Dean Henderson was nudged by Rasmus Hojlund following a free kick. The ball bounced into the Palace net with United players celebrating, but Jarred Gillett took Henderson's side and chalked the goal off.
Just before half time, Jean-Phillippe Mateta made a mockery of the experienced Jonny Evans as he skipped around the veteran's challenge to rocket a shot past a diving Onana - Oliver Glasner celebrating on the touchline.
Erik ten Hag's very short team talk did little to change proceedings as Crystal Palace continued to dominate. The third came courtesy of a delicious Adam Wharton cross being clipped back into the path of a determined Tyrick Mitchell, who tucked away.
The Monday night party truly lifted off with 25 minutes left to play as Olise bagged a second following the latest costly Casemiro mistake with another distance effort.
A Manchester United side devoid of character did next to nothing to fight back from the drubbing as Crystal Palace cruised to victory in south London. Here's how the Eagles stars rated on the night.

This boy is something special. Manchester United looked terrified of him all night long and he finished his two goals brilliantly. If the Red Devils truly do want to buy him, they've just helped increase his price tonight. | AFP via Getty Images
