Footage from the device worn by Jarred Gillett, dub🃏bed the RefCam, was noﷺt broadcast live but will be wound into a program made by the league to show the ups and downs of refereeing at the highest level.
What it will𓆉 also show is a closeup of United's woeful defend🐷ing.
Defenders backed off Michael Olise 𒐪and allowed him to stride forward unchallenged an♒d score the opener after 13 minutes.
Je🌼an-Philippe Mateta ma✅de it 2-0 five minutes before halftime when he skinned Jonny Evans and hammered the ball into the roof of the net.
The United defense failed to deal with a🎶 ball into the box and Tyrick Mitchell slid in to poke home a third nearly an hour in.
The fourth came soon after when Casemiro was disp🅷ossessed by Daniel Muñoz, who cut the ball back for Olise to score his second.
It was a particularly rough day for Casemi♏ro. United's captain f♎or the day also had two goals chalked off.
United could claim it was missing captain Bruno Fernandes, as well as regulars Sco𝔍tt McTominay, Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford but it was still dominated by a side that started the day six places behind iꦗt in the table.
The defeat was United's 13th in the league. It remained in eighth spot,🦄 outside the automatic European places.
Erik ten Hag's men have three more league games to go before facing Manchester City in the FA Cup final on 25 Ma❀y. The winner of the cup qualifies for the Europa League.
Palace remained in 14th place.
