Tempers threatened to boil over as Manchester United and Crystal Palace did battle in Australia on Tuesday.
The two Premier League sides faced off in a pre-season friendly in Melbourne, with the Red Devils impressing again under new manager Erik ten Hag. Anthony Martial gave United the lead in the first half and Marcus Rashford doubled the advantage after the interval following a flowing team move.
Jadon Sancho then produced a composed finish which all but secured victory with half an hour remaining, latching onto the in-form Martial's through-ball before finishing past Remi Matthews, who replaced the injured Jack Butland for the Eagles in the first half. Sancho's goal was his second of pre-season and came shortly after there was a heated altercation involving United midfielders Bruno Fernandes and Fred, and Palace forward Jordan Ayew.
