Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in Selhurst Park last night, but Damien Delaney arguably produced the best moment of the game.
United controversially took the lead through Paul Pogba, and led 1-0 at the break.
Delaney then provided a beautiful flick to play through James McArthur, who finished past David De Gea to make it 1-1 after 66 minutes.
Unfortunately for the former Irish international, and Palace, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored the winner in the 88th minute, and the Red Devils left London with all three points.
Here is Delaney’s delightful flick in all of its glory.
Who says centre backs aren’t skilful?

The 35 year old’s moment of magic sparked a joyous response on Twitter…
100 year old Damo Delaney with a skilful flick for an assist. Call that man back up.
