Crystal Palace suffered their first home defeat of the 2025/26 Premier League season after goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount secured a three-point victory for Manchester United. In the first half, substitutes Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah spearheaded Crystal Palace's attack. Despite creating numerous chances in the first half, they ultimately only managed to score through a penalty from Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Eddie Nketiah reflected: "I think we had some highlights throughout the game, but unfortunately we couldn't capitalize on our chances. And conceding two set pieces was disappointing. We hope to be more decisive in front of goal, seize our opportunities, and finish the game when the team is in high spirits."
“Every team has a chance to score in this league, and they also scored from two set pieces, so we are very disappointed.”
Despite suffering his first home defeat in the Premier League since February, Eddie Nketiah has set his sights on a rebound. This week, he will be with the team for two away games against Burnley and Fulham.
Eddie Nketiah said: "It was clear that Manchester United's first goal came from a quick offside pass and a very good shot. I think we were a bit off-target at times, and they capitalized on one or two chances."
"But we must keep working hard. There is another game in three days, so there is no time to dwell on the past. We must look to the future and give it our all in the next game."
