They can be a bit of a handful. Hate playing against them really and glad to leave with three points.

Our goals are really high quality. Thats a real pleasure to watch.

We are clearly tired but got the job done. Now next to westham, win that and we will only need a draw at Foxes

Got away with a few things but, these are the games where it's about the final result. 2-0 away from home is a good day regardless of the performance.

Maybe looked poor... maybe looked like not much effort... we take the three points and don't lose any GD to the Foxes.

The two goals were very nice. Rashy was clinical and Martial's shot was a beauty.

I honestly thought that first goal was going to be chalked of and a pen given to palace. There was no stoppage in play between that incident and the goal. Thanks god it wasnt!

Tough game but glad we came through it. A bit worried how tired we looked but at this stage I’d take any win!

Important win and comfortable in the end, but that performance was very worrying for large parts. Great games by Rashford, Martial and De Gea. Plenty of players look in desperate need of a rest.

We made hard work of it but it’s job done, two more wins and top four is guaranteed.
Game changed when Matic came on for Mctominay, got a lot more control.
You’ve got to wonder if we need another Matic like player to rotate with him next season, I’d say we definitely do.

Matic is essential in midfield. Key change today. Pleased for TFM.

And for future; we must always go and play for second goal. Second goal is a mood killer for other team.

Crap first half bar the goal.. much better 2nd half as Bruno started playing the others followed suit. Some lovely attacking play, fast concise passing.. Rashford looking back to his best - a joy to watch - unlike the first 40 Yawning minutes.
3 points needed and got. Next

Rest most of the team vs Chelsea were knackered! Great win though if we were fresh we wouldve scored 4 plus

Huffed and puffed the first half but Tony and Martial got us through.

Give that ugly man a mauling next.

I'm so damn grateful for those 3 points. Was still suffering today from the last result. That hurt, so today is a good day.

Slow and laborious for too much of that match but the win is all that matters at this point. We looked good when we got the ball in the final third but we kept fannying about with the ball at the back and in midfield.

We will be okay I think. Chelsea will get beaten by Liverpool, and Leicester will get beat by Spurs. As long as we don't feck it up in our next match we will be okay come the Leicester game I think.

A few dodgy moments and good calls, but some superb football in places.

Ticks off an away when Leicester had their easiest remaining game, and without any change in goal difference. We'd all have taken that.

Roll on Leicester and Chelsea dropping points next time out.

Considering I fully expected us to draw or even lose, being somewhat disappointed that we couldn't score more than two feels nice.

We didn't play well until after the second goal which killed Palace. But we're always looking a threat. However, the midfield will have to do better in the last two games. And our defending is simply not very good.

Rashford and Martial are deadly. Bruno is dangerous but also frustrating.

I wish we didn't have the FA Cup this weekend and we could just crack on with the league instead.

Not a good performance but did the job this time. Rashford and Martial did well, DDG too.

The scariest thing right now is that as good as we are we are massively reliant on Matic.

The interchange between Rashford and martial is just obscene

also I hope this match makes us realise how important a deep lying midfielder is in our system. Complete night and day performance after matic came on

3 points... All that matters, gtfi. Can't wait to see how this team grows and improve over time. Still a ways to go...

Some good individual performances but collectively crap as a team. Three points is all that matters in this hectic schedule.

Have to praise TFM who did surprisingly well - Martial and DeGea by far our best players

Bit lucky with VAR. I dont even wanna imagine the final score if that goal was allowed.
We got our swagger back towards the end
Was it Matic or just cuz we scored, probably a bit of both.
Not convincing but we needed a win like this.
Lets go now, lets get the CL.

Rashford and Martial absolutely amazing once again.
