Man Utd 2 Crystal Palace 0

Louis Saha broke his seasonal goalscoring duck in superb style to give Manchester United a Carling Cup lead against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Saha took two Palace defenders out of the game when he brought Quinton Fortune’s angled cross down on his chest just six yards out and then provided the perfect finish, drilling home a low near-post drive.

Kieran Richardson netted his second senior goal to double United’s lead seven minutes before the interval.
