How'd they do that?


My strange fandom for the Premier League team Crystal Palace continues.

They've played three games thus far.  First, they had a boring 0-0 draw with Everton.  Then they had a disheartening 0-1 loss to newly-in-the-league this year Sheffield United.  I was not optimistic.

So somehow they went out and defeated mighty (but maybe not quite yet back to that level) Manchester United, 2-1, using a lucky breakaway, a Man U goalie flub in extra time, a missed Man U penalty kick (lucky!!) and a lot of instances of kicking the ball out from in front of their own net.

Kinda typical for this club.

But still, it was historical.

Crystal Palace make Premier League history with late win at Manchester United
