Zirkzee ends goal drought to inspire Man Utd victory at Palace
Joshua Zirkzee finally ended his long wait for a Premier League goal, scoring his first in almost a year to ignite Manchester United’s comeback against Crystal Palace. The Dutch forward struck early in the second half, leveling the match after Palace had taken a first-half lead.
Moments later, Mason Mount found the net to secure a 2-1 victory for United on Sunday, completing an important turnaround that lifted the team’s spirits after recent struggles. The result came as a relief for Erik ten Hag, whose side had been searching for sharper attacking form.
United controlled much of the game in the second half, pressing high and keeping Palace contained. Zirkzee’s finish demonstrated composure and confidence, signaling a return to form after a difficult goal drought.
“It’s been a while, so it feels really good to help the team win again,” said Zirkzee after the match.
The win continues Manchester United’s push for a higher position in the league table, while Crystal Palace remains mid-table after a spirited but ultimately losing effort.
Author summary: Zirkzee’s long-awaited goal inspired Manchester United to rally from behind and defeat Crystal Palace 2-1, marking an uplifting moment for both the player and the team.
