Crystal Palace’s Olise’s late free-kick denies Man U victory

MANCHESTER United have had three points snatched from beneath their breath, courtesy of an inch-perfect Michael Olise free-kick in the 91st minute.1-0 up with less than three minutes to go against Crystal Palace, the Red Devils looked destined to bag three valuable points which would have closed the gap at the top of the Premier League table.

  That was until Palace forward Olise stepped up and rifled home an immaculate dead-ball effort.

  The sheer pace and whip on Olise’s left-footed strike left David De Gea in no man’s land as the ball sailed into the top right-hand corner of the net.

  Olise, refusing to celebrate for whatever reason, just casually turned around and strolled back to his half for the restart.

  The cameras then panned to United boss Erik ten Haag who leaned back in frustration as he watched his team throw away a vital victory in the dying embers of the match.

  To make matters worse, five minutes earlier midfield maestro, Casemiro picked up a fifth booking of the season, meaning he’ll miss this weekend’s huge clash against Arsenal.
