Manchester United were left frustrated by Crystal Palace on Saturday evening, drawing 0-0 at Selhurst Park in the Premier League.
It was a day for both goalkeepers as Dean Henderson and Andre Onana both pulled off some fantastic saves to deny several potential goalscorers in South London.
United did hit the woodwork three times, although Lisandro Martinez was lucky not to be sent off for a bizarre challenge in the second half.
Both teams will leave rueing missed chances on what could have been a goal-fest on another day.

How it happened
Manchester United started the match on the front foot, with Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes central to United’s rhythm at Selhurst Park.
The first major chance came just 10 minutes in, with Alejandro Garnacho breaking through the Palace defence, only to be denied by Henderson’s outstretched arm.
This set the tone for what would become a stellar individual performance from the Palace goalkeeper.
United continued to push forward, and by the 27th minute, they had hit the woodwork twice in quick succession.
First, Diogo Dalot’s pass found Garnacho, whose curling shot struck the post, only for Fernandes’ follow-up effort to cannon off the crossbar.
Despite their dominance in possession, with 72% of the ball in the first half, United were unable to breach the Palace goal.
