  2. 'Shocking decision'published at 17:55 British Summer Time 21 May 2016

    Former Arsenal defender on BBC One

    "Of course the referee should have played the advantage. They both go down and I can't believe the referee hasn't played on there. It is a shocking decision. That is a massive let off for Manchester United because Connor Wickham was through on goal."

    So Palace harshly done to there? Free-kick it is. And a good one too, Yohan Cabaye fizzes one in and Yannick Bolasie's header is tipped over by David de Gea...

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    Hang on! I presumed Mark Clattenburg had whistled against Connor Wickham but he actually books Chris Smalling.

    Surely they had to play on?!

  6. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 17 mins

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Man Utd

    The first real counter-attack sees Connor Wickham run Chris Smalling in the channel, they are both all over each other, Wickham hits the deck but gets up and puts the ball in the net.

    The whistle had gone...

    England play Turkey tomorrow. Wayne Rooney obviously won't be involved but could soon be filed under 'midfielder' for good. 

    He sprays another brilliant pass out wide to Marcos Rojo but the full-back can't turn it over.

    Andy McNamara: Wayne Rooney has to start in midfield for England this summer. He is completely bossing this game.

    David de Gea - ahead of more summer transfer speculation? - shows he is more than a shot-stopper to cleverly slide and keep the ball in and save a corner before opposite number Wayne Hennessey is rather slower to react and gather a Wayne Rooney effort at the second attempt.

    "Manchester United have started fantastically, they're controlling possession. Valencia and Rojo are taking Zaha and Bolasie really high into their own half whenever they get the ball, and Palace look nervous."

    Wilfried Zaha has touched the ball once so far.

    One more FA Cup final touch than you or I, I suppose...

    Si's Insights: United have the edge, but no cutting edge. Route one to Fellaintree will leave them wanting.

    Paul Edwards: Best keep Jedinak and Fellaini apart. If they get too close that beard and the hair will join like velcro.

    The Reckonist: The slower the game, the more United will control it. Palace need to fly out at them faster.

    The wildcard Marcus Rashford creates something from nothing again, a quick one-two opens up a pocket of space but his shot is blocked behind for a corner. 

    Marouane Fellaini loses his man in a typically physical exchange but he glides a header wide...

    "Marcus Rashford wants to ask questions of players and Damien Delaney just manages to get his foot to the ball. That was touch and go. Good early pressure from Manchester United."

    Manchester United with 80% of possession so far. But Palace won't mind that. Very much a hit on the break mindset.

    The first glimpse of Marcus Rashford - and he skins Damien Delaney to drive into the penalty area. Can he pull it back? Fair play to Delaney, who makes a last-ditch tackle. 

    All or nothing there. United turning the screw.
