Manchester United hosted Crystal Palace on Wednesday at old traford. The red devil were still fighting for a better spot in the standings while their opponent, crystal palace were struggling from the relegation. And a victory at home would see the Man United move to within a point of the fourth-placed Arsenal and two two adrift of Manchester City. 

The visitors gave a big gift to the host. Matteo Darmian unleashed a screaming volley with his weaker left foot early in the second half, after Palace defender Damien Delaney turned the Italy fullback's sharp low cross into his own net in the fourth minute. Man United leads 1 nil.

It's Darmian again in the 55th minutes. He chests down a corner kick, and wipes his laces across the ball to absolutely panel a jazzer in off the inside  of the left-hand post. The Red Devil grabs a 2-0 victory. 

On the standings, Leicester still sits on top with a 5 point ahead of the second Tottenham. Winning this game left United in fifth place, a point behind Arsenal who have a game in hand, and two adrift of Manchester City. West Ham falls three points behind and now sits in the sixth place. And thanks to a big 4-0 win against Everton, Liverpool moves to the 7th place.
