USMNT's Chris Richards helps secure clean sheet for Crystal Palace in stunning draw vs. Manchester United

Crystal Palace and U.S. international Chris Richards are still looking for their first three points of the season, but they'll be more than content with a draw against heavily-favored Manchester United. Richards had arguably his best performance of the season in the 0-0 draw, having five tackles, five clearances and two interceptions in the contest. Manchester United largely dominated proceedings, with 66.8 percent of total possession and 15 shots compared to Palace's nine. Still, the Eagles held firm at Selhurst Park to secure the upset.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Palace has three points in their opening five matches, raising concern they might be one of the Premier League teams fighting for survival this season. Still, this result has to be a confidence boost for Oliver Glasner's side. With Mauricio Pochettino now officially on board as the U.S.'s new manager, Richards will want to prove he deserves to remain within the national team's starting XI. He didn't disappoint Saturday.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Palace aren't off to the best of starts this season, but it pales in comparison to their worst-ever start in the 2015-16 season. During that campaign, Palace lost all their opening five matches. Palace was last relegated in 2005 and have been in the Premier League since the 2013-14 season after securing promotion.

DID YOU KNOW?

Richards and Palace will hope their winless spell comes to an end next week when they face another struggling side in Everton on Sept. 28.
