Manchester United were booed off the pitch as Norwich earned a shock 2-1 victory at Old Trafford, increasing the pressure on manager Louis van Gaal. This was Manchester United's first defeat at home this campaign and Norwich's first win at Old Trafford since 1989.
Despite all of United's possession, it was Norwich who look the lead in the first half through Cameron Jerome. It got worse for the home side in the second half as Jerome broke clear to feed Alex Tettey, who poked in.
Anthony Martial fired in to halve the deficit for United, but their winless run extended to six games. Juan Mata saw a free-kick from the edge of the area pushed away by Declan Rudd as the hosts went in search of the equaliser in the second half.
Centre-back Chris Smalling could have earned a point late on, but headed narrowly wide as United dropped to fifth in the table.
