Chapter 1: What were the highlights of Manchester United's comeback against Crystal Palace?
Pogba. Matic! Well, if you're going to win a game, winning with a goal like that, Nemanja Matic has come up with an absolute peach. His first goal for Manchester United, a dagger through Crystal Palace hearts.
Despair tonight for Crystal Palace. Brilliant win for Manchester United in the final seconds for the 19th time they've won a game in injury time in the Premier League. Rivalry weekend coming your way this weekend. Scotland first Friday night for the Edinburgh Derby. Manchester United will have their tails up now when they take on Liverpool on Saturday.
We're also featuring two great games in the Championship, Aston Villa-Wolves and Forest Derby, both Midlands derbies of a type, and the Old Firm as well on Sunday from 11.30. Great film, this. Fantastic watch. I would say not one for the kids. Baby Driver available now on Sky Cinema. Brilliant soundtrack, that as well.
Chapter 2: How did Nemanja Matic's goal impact the match outcome?
The game was won in the dying moments by Nemanja Matic on the Monday Night Football. And he joins us now, live from Selhurst Park, seconds after walking off the pitch. Congratulations, Nemanja. Honestly, at 2-0, what were you thinking?
After 2-0, it was very difficult for us to come back because they had a crowd behind them who supported them. But we showed character, we believed until the end and we did exactly what the manager wanted from us. He said in the half-time that we had to do more than in the first half and I'm happy for these three important points for us, of course.
Maybe it was going to take something very special, Nemanja, to win this game. You can actually see, along with us, the goal as it goes in. Your first goal for Manchester United. Tell us, what were you thinking?
Nice goal.
Worth the wait.
Yeah, when I received the ball, when the ball bounced, I knew that it was going to be a good shot, but I didn't know that it was going to be a goal, of course. I'm happy, I'm happy that I scored my first goal for Manchester United.

Chapter 3: What did the players say about their mindset after being 2-0 down?
I know it's not my job, but sometimes I have to score and I'm happy that with this goal we won the three points.
Did you deliberately hit across the ball to try and send it away from Wayne Hennessy?
Can you repeat, sorry?
Did you deliberately try and hit across the ball to send it spinning away from the goalkeeper?
No. No, I just... I just tried to shoot and I didn't... In this moment, you don't have time to think a lot, so in my mind it was only to shoot and to score and I'm happy that the ball finished... I hope you were not the man of the match. No, I'm not. No?
Not you?
There's the manager coming in to congratulate you.
Get him in. It's Gary.
You played under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and you've won a Premier League title. Where do you think this team is, this Manchester United team, in terms of its development and how close do you think it is to becoming a team that can challenge next season?

Chapter 4: How did Manchester United's performance change in the second half?
We need to do more for sure because in these, let's say, small games we dropped some very important points and, as you know, probably you cannot lose these kind of points, especially if you turn back the game against Leicester away when we conceded the goal in the last second of the game and we lost Huddersfield away. So in these kind of games,
If we manage to win, we can compete for the title, of course. The quality is there, for sure, but we have to be honest, we have to do more because in this league every team is very strong. There are five or six teams that realistically can compete for the title. So I hope that in next season and the end of this season we will learn from our mistakes and hopefully we can do better.
But I think we are on a good way.
And finally, Nemanja, the way that you've won this game tonight in the very last seconds coming back from 2-0 down, how much confidence do you think that will give your team going into that game against Liverpool next Saturday?
Of course, that is going to be a lot of confidence, because always when you win the game, the next one is much easier to play. Supporters believe in you, so it's always important to win, especially when you play derby games against top teams. So I'm happy that we are waiting Liverpool games with these three points.
Nemanja, congratulations. Thank you very much for speaking to us and cherish that goal as well. Terrific.
Thank you very much.

Chapter 5: What tactical adjustments did Jose Mourinho make during the match?
It was very special, wasn't it? An unlikely goal scorer, it's fair to say.
Yeah, and when the ball came to me, listen, we know his record's not great, but I just thought as it was coming to him, please don't hit another one. I remember he hit that one for Chelsea away at Spurs. It was a cup semi-final off the post. But listen, it's just one of those ones that sits up for you and you think, late on in the game, just have a whack at it. really there.
I mean, Pogba gets the first block, good block, and you know it's going to be hit there. I mean, we were looking at the goal, I mean, listen, no, I mean, it's a great strike, goes in that far side.
I think it's sort of, it was, what was it, 30, 40 seconds left, it's that one, it's your last chance at the game, really, and how often have you seen players in those positions, and when they knock it over the bar or something, the rest of the teammates screamed, oh, just keep the ball, keep playing, keep playing around the box, and look at the face of Lukaku there, even he can't believe it.
What was your reaction to it from the Palace perspective? I mean, it's a terrific strike, but were you suggesting that maybe Hennessy might have... got a hand to it?
Maybe, but maybe. But what I think about Crystal Palace is they put so much effort into the game in that first 70 minutes.

Chapter 6: What were the reactions from Crystal Palace's manager and players?
There was a point, I think it was around 73, 74 minutes, United got a corner on their left-hand side and Andros Townsend boosted it into the crowd as if to say, we need a rest. And I thought there was just a point whereby they were getting deeper and deeper and United were sustaining attacks and pressing and looking powerful and strong and it was getting more difficult.
And once United got the first goal, I think that Roy Hodgson himself will have probably thought on the sidelines, we're going to have to do well here to hang on for this next 20 minutes. Because United would just seem to be like, the power seems to be growing.
There seems to be lots of incidents where the ball was deep in their box and there were lots of players around it trying to get out and close shots down. Weren't quite getting there. I have to say, I think Juan Mata made a massive difference to United. There's a lot of individuals.
I mean, I don't always say he's been his biggest fan in terms of... I've always thought United's wide players or even their number 10s should be people who can get from box to box quite quickly. But what United have now with Martial, Rashford, Lukaku, Lingard, Sanchez, is people who can get to box to box, but they haven't got anybody necessarily to glue it together.
I thought when he came on tonight, and I actually thought it even in the Manchester City game when he came on for 20 minutes at the end, he's the one who can slow it down, who can connect things, who can actually link everything. I thought he made a massive difference in this game in terms of just composing United in the final third.
Sanchez is playing too deep at this moment in time, but I thought Mata made a big difference when he came on. He was the one that just, if you like, controlled the ball in the box, made the right decision, and United were getting stronger.

Chapter 7: How did pundits analyze the performance of key players?
I said at the half-time that I thought it was nothing like a Jose Mourinho performance. Second half, it looked like a Jose Mourinho performance in the last 20 minutes in terms of powering into a game.
But for all that, in terms of significant moments in that game, how valuable was that save from David De Gea? Huge.
I mean, just continuous to say that year on year about to get probably close again to maybe being United's player this season again. And this at 2-2. I think this is a great save from a goalkeeper. For David de Gea, maybe it's a good save. For most keepers, that would be a great save. He's that good a goalkeeper. You're probably disappointed if it went in, but it's still a very good save.
There's lots of players in the league who sometimes run out of things to say. He's not really what to say about me. He's that good a goalkeeper. But that's a save I'd expect.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of this match for Manchester United's season?
He's the best goalkeeper in the world, in my opinion. So that is a save I'd expect him to make. But it shows how good he is.
The standard goalkeeper would have been massively disappointed if that had gone in. And if the Matic goal would have gone in his net... I'd have been disappointed he wouldn't have saved it. That's the level of De Gea, and that's why I think comparing him to Hennessy at the other end is unfair, because I think De Gea would have saved the shot at the other end.
But that's just him, he's a world-class goalkeeper.
Terrific grin in the end tonight for Manchester United. Jose Mourinho's reaction now with Greg Whelan.
Jose, congratulations. Sum up your emotions after that for us.
First of all, I think they also deserve congratulations. because a match like this is only possible with two teams. I would say with three teams. Because also the referee, maybe one mistake here or there, but his intentionality of let the game go, don't give too many faults, keep the intensity of the game, I think he has also responsibilities in this match.
I think fantastic match for the people in front of the screen in the stadium. difficult match for me because my team made so many mistakes. We had amazing attitudes, we had
very good quality football in the in the second half but we made so many defensive mistakes and i'm not speaking only about my defenders i'm speaking about my team generally so the game was not a game that let me in the moon because i don't like my teams to lose the organization like we did but amazing football match amazing comeback
and very important victory for us because I think now must be like nine matches to the end and we have a nine points pillow to the fifth, which is not amazing, but it's okay.
