Ghana international and Crystal Palace midfielder Jeffery Schlupp featured in Crystal Palace's matchday 28 fixture against Manchester United in the English Premier League.

The Eagles lost painfully to Manchester United at home in a 3-1 scoreline at the Selhurst Park where Romelu Lukaku bagged a brace to sink them to the 14th position on the league table with 30 points.

Jeffery, 26, provided the only assist for Palace from an individual drive from the left flank to the advantage of Joel Ward who headed in to find a consolation goal but that was not enough as Young made it three for the visitors at the latter stage of the clash.

The former Leicester City player had made 23 league appearances involving 11 starts and netted six goals for Crystal Palace, registering four assists so far this season.

He lasted the entire duration of the game while his compatriot, Jordan Ayew was an unused substitute.
