Match Highlights
Crystal Palace have secured a stunning win over Aston Villa. Captain Mark Guihy's wonder strike has given the team their first win of the season, giving them a new confidence boost.
Guihy's decisive strike
The lead they took in the first half could have been overturned by the pressure of a potential equaliser. But Guihy fired a beautiful shot from the edge of the box into the top corner. He has been linked with a move to Liverpool but has shown his full concentration on the pitch.
First goal from penalty
Palace opened the scoring in the 21st minute of the match. Daichi Kamada was brought down by goalkeeper Bizot and was awarded the penalty. On that occasion, Mateta showed a high level of confidence by beating the goalkeeper with a calm finish.
Villa's improvement and pressure
Villa, playing at home, had possession of the ball early but failed to create a decisive chance. They stepped up their attacks in the second half. Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers created threats but goalkeeper Dean Henderson made a great save.
Small but important contribution
In the 78th minute, Palace added another goal. Ismaila Sarr headed home a long throw-in from Lacroix, who had touched the ball. The goal sealed the game and stunned the home team.
Table and results
With this win, Palace have climbed to eighth place in the table with five points. Villa, on the other hand, are second to last with one point. Their problem of not scoring a goal is getting worse.
