5 key stats from Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Crystal Palace

#3 Mourinho in personal first

In the end, Mourinho was pleased his side managed the comeback

Prior to Monday Jose Mourinho had never won a Premier League game where his side had fallen two goals down.

The Portuguese had managed 21 games during his stints with Chelsea and Man United in the English top flight where his side has fallen two goals behind but he never managed a win in any of those games.

Out of the 21 games, only a couple ended in draws and the rest 19 games ended in defeats.
