Unexpectedly, something happened before the end of the first half.

Kanter immediately reached out and shook his finger at Marriner, indicating that he did not touch Martial and it was a fake fall.
Unexpectedly, Marriner blew the whistle directly in his mouth and pointed to the location of the foul.
Marriner awarded a direct free kick from the edge of the penalty area.
This made Tong Yi very dissatisfied.
This is not a foul at all. This is Martial's diving. Why did we give Crystal Palace a foul?
Is this referee too biased towards Manchester United?
Tong Yi was speechless.
Crystal Palace fans also expressed their dissatisfaction, but this did not change the referee Marriner's decision, which gave Manchester United a direct free kick.
This opportunity is a life-saving straw for Manchester United!
Manchester United people took this opportunity very seriously and four players stood in front of the football.
Mourinho on the sidelines was also very concerned about this goal. This goal was very important for their Manchester United team.
beep!
Following the whistle, Martial quickly took a run-up and feinted a shot. Then Balot, who rushed up quickly, suddenly took off his foot and fired angrily, pulling out a powerful and heavy ground ball.
The ball was so fast that the Crystal Palace defenders were deceived and jumped up.
The football rolled quickly past his feet and into the lower right corner of the goal.
Alisson reacted quickly and did not touch the football.
One to two!
Manchester United scored a goal before the end of the first half to narrow the gap between the two teams.
To be honest, Tong Yi is very dissatisfied with this conceding goal.
Of course, he was not dissatisfied with the team's defense, but with the referee's decision. How could this ball be called a foul? Kante did not touch Martial at all on this ball!
And after the slow-motion replay, everyone can see clearly that Kante did not touch Martial with the ball. Of course, Martial did not fall, Martial stepped on his loose carry.
Then he lost his balance and fell to the turf.
Marriner thought that Kanter must have touched Martial. You stepped on his shoelaces and you still said you didn't touch him?
This is really a misjudgment.
Tong Yi was really speechless.
After the second half of the game started, Manchester United became more active.
Obviously, the goal in the first half gave Manchester United a lot of confidence and passion. They believed that Manchester United had many opportunities and could easily equalize the score or even defeat Crystal Palace.

Although the goal was not scored, the fans of Manchester United were very excited. If they continue to play like this, Manchester United will win.
Tong Yi on the sidelines seemed very calm and not anxious at all.
It seems that the current situation is within his expectation, so it is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Mourinho turned to look at Tong Yi, also a little suspicious.
However, Manchester United had good momentum at this time, so he didn't care. He signaled Manchester United to continue attacking and strive to score as soon as possible and equalize the score.
Only with an equalizer can Manchester United have any hope of winning.

Manchester United fans are very sorry.
What a great opportunity this is!
It's a pity, it's really a pity. If this goal had been scored, Manchester United would have been great.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the football jumped directly towards Alisson and was picked up by the moon in the air. Then Alisson quickly rushed out with the ball, and then threw the football out with a powerful hand throw!
Counterattack, Crystal Palace’s counterattack is coming!
Manchester United fans
I suddenly became frightened, it was dangerous!
The consecutive corner kicks just now have paralyzed the Manchester United players. They have invested very little in defense. Almost everyone's attention is on the offense. At this time, Manchester United's defense is very empty.
.
Crystal Palace counterattacked quickly at this time. Manchester United is very dangerous!
At this time, the fans of Manchester United had no confidence. They all felt that Manchester United really couldn't stand it this time.
Originally, Manchester United's current defense is weak, but Crystal Palace is still a team that is very good at counterattacking.
It's over. Manchester United is going to be over.
At this time, the Crystal Palace fans became excited. They called the names of the Crystal Palace players crazily and even sang the Crystal Palace team anthem. They were very excited.
Mourinho on the sidelines shouted crazily, "Back off, defend, intercept!"
To be honest, Mourinho's heart sank to the bottom at this time.
With such a counterattack opportunity, Crystal Palace has a very high possibility of scoring a goal. Crystal Palace's quick counterattack ability is very strong, and Manchester United is in danger.
Sure enough, Mbappe, who was holding the ball on the wing, looked at Rojo who was rushing towards him. He accelerated the ball on the spot and passed the ball past the reckless Rojo.
Mourinho was a little speechless when he saw this. How is he defending like this?
Now, isn't it just two-on-one on Crystal Palace's side? Rojo's handover was too fast, and he didn't even prepare for his teammate Valencia. So, Mbappe suddenly accelerated forward, and Valencia
He had no other choice but to rush forward quickly.
But the moment he rushed forward, Mbappe passed the ball directly, and an arcing pass bypassed Valencia and flew to Asensio in the huge space on the other side.
There was no obstruction in front of Asensio. After receiving the ball, he accelerated directly towards Manchester United's penalty area.
In front of him was only the attacking Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea.
After calculating the distance between himself and De Gea, while running, he suddenly rubbed the inside of his right foot and shot, directly creating a wonderful arc, bypassing De Gea, and then quickly spun into the Manchester United team.
's goal.
Easy!
Asensio broke through Manchester United's goal and changed the score to three to one!
After scoring this goal, Crystal Palace has secured the title of the English League Cup. I am afraid that Manchester United has no chance to intercept Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace has not only contained the Manchester United team.
The momentum of the counterattack expanded the score.
What chance does Manchester United have at this point?
Obviously Manchester United will not give up at this time. After all, there are still nearly 20 minutes left in the game. Although the difference between being two goals behind is a bit large, it does not mean that Manchester United has no chance. So
, Even in such a bad situation, Manchester United will not give up. Manchester United people are looking forward to the birth of a miracle!
