After Bruno Fernandes scored 1-0 just before the break away to Crystal Palace, it looked for a long time as if Manchester United would extend their winning streak. The big club went into the meeting in London with five consecutive three-pointers in Premier League football, and a total of nine consecutive victories all competitive matches included.

But it stopped there.

The clock had passed 90 minutes when the home team’s Michael Olise made it 1-1 via a delicious free kick.

A few minutes before that, Manchester United’s midfield star Casemiro had also received his fifth yellow card of the season. It means the Brazilian is suspended for Sunday’s summit away with league leaders Arsenal.
