United recovered from a goal down to beat Crystal Palace 2–1 at Old Trafford and rise to third in the Premier League. After a slow start, the Red Devils fell behind to Maxence Lacroix’s header, but a second-half red card for the French defender changed the game.
United were denied a scoring opportunity due to a foul on Matheus Cunha and took full advantage of their extra player. First, Bruno Fernandes scored the penalty awarded for Lacroix’s foul on Cunha, before Benjamin Sesko headed in the winner.
Speaking to BBC Match of the Day, Carrick was delighted with the response from his side, who are unbeaten in his seven league games as interim boss.
“I’m very happy with the win and the way we responded to a slow start. Credit to Palace, they started the game very sharp and clear.”
“We showed that belief and that personality and we finished the first half well. To overcome a goal so early, that was a new challenge for us. You have to do that at certain moments, it has to be perfect.”
