Manchester United's miserable start continues with Crystal Palace defeat

Things went from bad to worse for Manchester United as they slumped to their fourth defeat of the Premier League season on Saturday.

An early strike from Joachim Anderson strike earned Crystal Palace a 1-0 win at Old Trafford, heaping more pressure on Erik ten Hag's team.

Following defeat in their previous home league match, against Brighton and Hove Albion, the below-par hosts again found themselves behind in the 25th minute as Anderson arrowed a volley into the top corner.

Chances were few and far between for United, who were booed off at the final whistle as a stoney-faced Ten Hag made his way to the locker room in the Manchester rain.

Mason Mount missed United's best chance in the second half, with Palace seeing out a victory that moved the visitors up to ninth in the standings, one place above United.

With nine points and a minus-four goal difference, this is United’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season after seven games. The last time they suffered a worse start to a top-flight campaign was in 1989-90.

Meanwhile, Luton Town earned their first ever Premier League victory as they beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park to climb out of the bottom three.

Without a goal at home in the league this season, Everton started swiftly, with Dwight McNeil drilling a volley just wide and Dominic Calvert-Lewin having a header comfortably saved.

Those misses set the tone for the game and the visitors opened the scoring in the 24th minute when Ashley Young's attempt to clear a corner was blocked into the net by Tom Lockyer.
