Joshua Zirkzee scored his first Premier League goal for nearly a year before Mason Mount grabbed the winner as <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/english-premier-league-matthijs-de-ligt-saves-manchester-united-with-late-header-in-2-2-draw-vs-tottenham-hotspur-23602308" rel="nofollow">Manchester United</a> came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1 on Sunday.&nbsp;
Ruben Amorim&rsquo;s side trailed to Jean-Philippe Mateta&rsquo;s first half penalty at Selhurst Park, but Zirkzee and Mount netted after the interval to secure United&rsquo;s first win in four games.&nbsp;
United recovered from their lacklustre start thanks to Zirkzee&rsquo;s first goal in the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/premier-league-pep-guardiola-warns-that-manchester-city-have-little-room-for-title-race-errors-23605459" rel="nofollow">Premier League</a> since he netted against Everton in December 2024. &nbsp; The much-maligned Dutch striker had gone 24 league games without a goal, adding to perception that his &pound;36 million ($47.7 million) move from Bologna in 2024 was a bad investment.
Zirkzee, 24, had failed to score in his eight previous appearances dating back to April. Beaten by Everton&rsquo;s 10 men at Old Trafford on Monday, United&rsquo;s first victory since October was a much-needed boost for Amorim.
