Demien slapped his palms together once, glared toward the defender who'd conceded the foul, then stopped himself before he said something he'd regret.
He walked into the goal, retrieved the ball from the net, and carried it back toward the center circle himself, wanting the restart immediately.
"United controlled that entire opening period," the commentator said, "but one unnecessary foul on the touchline has let Palace's quality punish them."
For the next ten minutes, Palace's block sat even deeper.
Andersen and Guéhi stayed close together around Højlund.
Mitchell refused to overcommit against Rashford.
Doucouré never left more than a stride of space around Demien.
Palace's wide players tracked back until the whole shape resembled two narrow defensive lines stacked in front of goal.
Bruno received outside the box and shot through traffic, but Andersen blocked it with his body.
