MAN UNITED BEAT Crystal Palace 2-0 this afternoon, however their first goal came in controversial circumstances.
Ashley Young earned a penalty after what appeared a clear foul by Kagisho Dikgacoi, with the defensive midfielder subsequently receiving a red card for being the last man.
However, replays revealed that the infringement seemed to take place outside the box.
