secure a thrilling 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This triumph marked United&#8217;s first Premier League win in south London since 2020, although they faced significant challenges from Ruben Amorim&#8217;s team.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace initially took the lead with two penalties from Filip Mateta just nine minutes before half-time, putting United in a tough spot.<\/p>\n<p>However, with Champions League qualification just one point away, Joshua Zirkzee justified his selection by Amorim with a determined shot just minutes into the match.<\/p>\n<p>The comeback was completed by Mason Mount, who scored following a Bruno Fernandes free-kick just nine minutes after Zirkzee\u2019s equalizer.<\/p>\n<p>This victory ended a three-match winless streak in south London and marked Amorim&#8217;s team\u2019s second away win in the Premier League since May.<\/p>\n<p>As United highlighted the need for immediate Premier League action in south London, we take a look at the key points from Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amorims_Immediate_Response\"><\/span>Amorim&#8217;s Immediate Response<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Entering the November international break, Manchester United appears to be in a productive phase, but Amorim&#8217;s squad will face heightened scrutiny this week.<\/p>\n<p>Despite returning to action with a lackluster 1-0 loss to ten-man Everton at home, the former Sporting Lisbon manager is eager for a swift turnaround.<\/p>\n<p>Going into halftime, United was under considerable pressure, in danger of extending their winless streak to four games in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>However, showing commendable mental resilience, they secured their first league win since a thrilling 4-2 victory over Brighton on October 25, with aspirations to return to European competition this season.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crystal_Palace_Seeking_Stability\"><\/span>Crystal Palace Seeking Stability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Oliver Glasner is steadily earning his place among Crystal Palace&#8217;s best-ever managers, having led the team to their first FA Cup victory in May.<\/p>\n<p>With records broken and a memorable European journey, the former Eintracht Frankfurt manager has seen his side win various accolades.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Palace, they recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to Strasbourg in France, knocking them out of the Europa League.<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles, who relinquished their lead at Selhurst Park and missed a chance to excel in Europe, have managed only one win in their last four matches across all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>As they search for consistency, Palace will next face relegation-struggling Burnley on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uniteds_Quest_for_Defensive_Strength\"><\/span>United&#8217;s Quest for Defensive Strength<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While Amorim\u2019s side celebrated their second Premier League away win since mid-March, the Portuguese coach understands the pressing need for defensive resilience.<\/p>\n<p>United have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six league matches, allowing Everton to snag victory with their lone shot on target at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Remarkably, aside from a 2-0 win against Premier League newcomers Sunderland on October 4, United has maintained only one clean sheet across their first 14 matches this season.<\/p>\n<p>Amorim&#8217;s squad is the only team outside of Manchester&#8217;s red half to achieve a clean sheet since January, despite heading into the November international break with consecutive 2-2 draws against Tottenham and Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match Report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Crystal
