Benjamin Šeško scored for the third consecutive game as Manchester United came from behind to beat 10-man Crystal Palace 2-1, moving into third place in the Premier League.
The visitors took an early lead at Old Trafford when Maxence Lacroix headed home in the fourth minute.
However, the match turned on a controversial 56th-minute incident: Lacroix was sent off and a penalty awarded after he fouled Matheus Cunha.
Bruno Fernandes converted the spot-kick to level the scores before crossing for Šeško to head in the winner eight minutes later.
The victory extends interim manager Michael Carrick’s unbeaten start to six wins in seven games, lifting United above Aston Villa on goal difference.
Despite the on-field success, the match was marked by fan protests against minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and an early injury to United left-back Luke Shaw.
Crystal Palace remains 14th, 10 points clear of the relegation zone, as they look toward a potential European push before manager Oliver Glasner departs this summer.
