The Eagles went two goals to the good in the first half at Selhurst Park on Monday night thanks to hits from Andros Townsend and Patrick van Aanholt.
Two minutes later Lukaku calmly shot through an equally congested box and beyond Hennessey to draw the visitors level, after Alexis Sanchez's deflected strike had looped up off the crossbar and fell to the Belgian. Roy Hodgson's side will then visit Huddersfield Town before welcoming Liverpool to Selhurst Park at the end of this month. The shot took a deflection off United defender Victor Lindeloff on the way through, but it was heading for the back of the net anyway.
"We took the game to Manchester United".
After joining United from Benfica for £31 million ($42 million) in June, Lindelof endured a hard start with his new club.
In the 16th minute Townsend whipped in a unsafe corner, and it could have been 2-0, had David De Gea not been the right place.
Mourinho responded to United's underwhelming first half by introducing Marcus Rashford for Scott McTominay at the break.
"We were there after seven games and everyone was telling us we were relegated, eight points adrift of safety, we are one point adrift now with nine games to go", he said.

Georgia Lawmakers End Tax Break For Delta Airlines
Georgia Republicans responded by removing the tax break, which would have been worth about $50 million. Delta had agreed Saturday to drop its marketing program with the National Rifle Association.
But United responded well and pulled one back in the 55th minute - Smalling, who had threatened just a few moments earlier, meeting Antonio Valencia's cross with a fine header to usher in another period of dominance for Mourinho's men. He played a role in both of United's goals against Chelsea.
It was a shocking goal to concede as they were penalised for a foul on Benteke, but simply failed to react as Jeffrey Schlupp took a quick free-kick to release Van Aanholt.
After facing second-placed Manchester United the week before, Chelsea faces City in an intriguing battle.
Benteke cleared off the line from Matic, when it looked like United had got their equalizer.
But gradually the 23-year-old began to find his feet and, playing alongside Chris Smalling at the heart of the United defence, he has started their last three games with notable assurance.
Paul Pogba has scored in both of his Premier League games against Crystal Palace - they're now the only team he's scored both home and away against in the competition. He said at half-time that we had to do more than in the first half and I'm happy for these three important points.
