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.
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.
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?
I think that we are improving, we are improving.
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.
