Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira delivers honest verdict following Manchester United draw

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira felt a draw was what his side deserved after Michael Olise netted a late free-kick to earn the Londoners a point against Manchester United at Selhurst Park on Wednesday evening.

The former Reading man, just as time was running out, bent home a brilliant effort via the underside of the crossbar to earn the home side a share of the spoils, cancelling out Bruno Fernandes' first-half opener. The latter had given United the lead shortly before half-time and it looked like being enough to earn them a 10th successive win.

The Portuguese international curled home a clinical effort from just inside the penalty area, marking his second goal in as many games. Palace, though, refused to throw the towel in, salvaging a much-needed point through a moment of individual brilliance.
