Manchester United fans have one more reason to thank Chelsea's transfer business from last year's summer, as Nemanja Matic saved the day for the Red Devils with his stunning goal against Crystal Palace, securing three crucial points for Mourinho's men.
Matic's last-gasp goal capped an amazing comeback for Manchester United, who came back from a two-goal deficit for the first time since 2013's Boxing Day. The Red Devils scored three goals with 35 minutes left in the game, denying the Eagles from a crucial win that would have seen them leave the relegation zone.

Furthermore, this will be a game Jose Mourinho won't forget soon. The Portuguese boss finally won a game after recovering from a two-goal deficit at any point of a clash. Mourinho had only drawn twice after falling behind while losing 19 of those games...until today.
