Premier League: Palace thrash Leeds

-

 Leeds United 1 - 5 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace staged a remarkable second-half turnaround to give a significant boost to their Premier League survival hopes.

This stunned Leeds and left them with plenty of work to do in their own bid to avoid a trip to the Championship.

Leeds thrashed by Palace

Palace dominated the second half.

For as sharp and hungry as Leeds were in the first 45 minutes, they were disjointed and lethargic after the break as the players and fans were left in disbelief as Palace tore them apart. The Eagles scored four goals after the break with Jordan Ayew - in for the injured Wilfried Zaha - scoring two in an incredible demolition of the home side.

After taking the lead through Patrick Bamford, it all went downhill as Marc Guehi flicked in an equaliser on the stroke of half-time before Palace scored two goals in two minutes soon after the break.

First, Ayew made it 2-1 with an excellent header before Eberechi Eze added a quick third.

Odsonne Edouard then drove a fourth into the bottom corner following a quick counter and Ayew completed the rout late on when he lifted a shot over Illan Meslier, prompting many Leeds fans to head for the exits.

There was a lot of anger from the crowd after the match. Everyone associated with the club will be very worried now.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
