Victor Lindelof has been largely blamed for Crystal Palace's opening goal against Man United but there are four key moments in the game that prove that it's not just his fault.
There's no denying that the Swede struggled but players like Harry Maguire, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Luke Shaw also failed to provide support and keep up.
Look at how rigid our backline is here but the problem arose when Fosu-Mensah was pulled in by Ayew
When Fosu-Mensah provided the needed space, Jeffrey Schlupp immediately capitalized and the line was breached. From there on, it was just chaos building up to explode.
Here, one can see Lindelof trying to stop the cross but notice how far behind Maguire and Shaw are
Thus, as one can see, it was not just Lindelof who was at fault. It was a collective breakdown of our defensive system as a whole.
Clearly, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co need to head back to the drawing board before our next couple of games.
