Crystal Palace continues its good streak in the last five days of the Premier League, achieving a resounding 4-0 victory against Manchester United, one of the historic “big six” of English football. In this match, the Colombian Daniel Muñoz was the protagonist of a curious and decisive play, stealing Casemiro’s wallet and then assisting in the last goal of the match.
For Manchester United, this defeat marks the end of their four-game unbeaten run in the league, where they had three draws and a 4-2 victory against Sheffield United at home. Despite this setback, the Red Devils remain in eighth position in the table, with no chance of reaching the European places given that the Premier League season is coming to an end.
For its part, Crystal Palace continues its fight to move away from the relegation zone, currently sitting in fourteenth place in the table with 43 points. The “Eagles” are below Fulham and above Everton, and hope to continue adding points in the remaining rounds to ensure their permanence in the highest category of English football.

The play begins with a pass to the Crystal Palace player, Jean-Philippe Mateta, who loses the ball to Casemiro, who crosses and tries to protect it, but Daniel Muñoz arrives, knocks the Brazilian to the ground and steals the ball. The Colombian passes it to Olise and, inside the large area from the right, he scores 4-0 with many people in front of the goal.
Daniel Muñoz, since his arrival at Crystal Palace, has more than adapted to the team and has become an important piece in coach Oliver Glasner’s scheme. So far Muñoz has started 14 games.
This defeat of Manchester United confirms the good moment that Crystal Palace is going through, which hopes to continue adding points in the last few days to finish the season in the best possible way and establish itself in the Premier League.
Muñoz in the defense of Crystal Palace
The Colombian arrived in England from Genk in Belgium, where he was considered a reliable player and where he has been since the 2020-21 season. His play in the Crystal Palace defense has been efficient this year: only 3 yellow cards in the 14 games in which he has participated and more than 1,260 minutes as a starter in the season.
