Crystal Palace completed a first ever double against Manchester United, after beating United 1-0 at Old Trafford and 4-0 at Selhurst Park.

A makeshift Manchester United backline was far from impressive, as United’s familiar woes continued.

Manchester United ended up being beat 4-0 away at Selhurst Park, in what was a very disappointing performance.

For Chelsea, it was the perfect scoreline, and a good job done by Crystal Palace.

Chelsea need to finish in seventh to make it to the Europa League. The Blues have jumped from mid-table to seventh, ahead of Manchester United.

Chelsea and Manchester United are level on points but Chelsea have a more superior goal difference. It’s now in Chelsea’s hand to qualify for the Europa League. However, Chelsea must be hoping that Manchester City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final.
