On a night when the Red Devil were looking to go second in the league, Crystal Palace however at the Sehult Park did everything possible to get a late minute 1-1 draw.
United were on course for their 10th successive victory after Bruno Fernandes scored just before half-time when he finished well following Christian Eriksen's pull-back.
However, Crystal Palace's Michael Olise struck in dramatic style with a brilliant curling free-kick to ensure a point apiece.
The Eagles have now secured 13 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, only Tottenham Hotspur with 14 have recovered more.
The draw also mends a run of three successive defeats in all competitions and Patrick Vieira's side will feel they got a deserved point.
“It was important not to lose the game. Against a team who have been playing well, it was important for us to stay in the game as long as we could, and we managed to take a fully-deserved point. I’m pretty pleased with that.” Vieira said after the game.
