Former England strikers Gary Lineker and Ian Wright praised Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez after he produced another excellent performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
The Argentine, who has been exceptional since arriving from Ajax during the summer transfer window, helped United register their fourth win on the bounce in all competitions. After Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford had fired United into a two-goal lead, Erik ten Hag's side looked to be on course for a routine victory.
Casemiro's 70th-minute red card, however, changed the landscape of the game, with Palace pulling a goal back through Jeffrey Schlupp's excellent finish six minutes later. After pulling one back, the Londoners went in pursuit of an equaliser, only to find Martinez in the way of almost everything.
