Guehi's retention is emphasized by Palace manager Glasner following Villa triumph, according to statements post-match
In a thrilling encounter at Villa Park, Crystal Palace emerged victorious against Aston Villa, marking their first win of the Premier League season.
Captain Marc Guehi, who was named man-of-the-match by manager Oliver Glasner, scored a sublime strike to add to Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty and Ismaila Sarr's goal, securing the 3-0 victory for the Eagles.
The win lifted Crystal Palace to eighth place in the league, while Aston Villa remain winless and scoreless after three games, currently holding the second-bottom position.
The home team's 19-match unbeaten streak in the league was ended by Crystal Palace, who last beat them at Villa Park in the League Cup last October.
Aston Villa was missing goalkeeper Emi Martinez in the match, with speculation growing about his potential departure. Reports suggest that both Galatasaray Istanbul and Manchester United have shown interest in signing the Argentina World Cup winner.
Villa manager Unai Emery acknowledged the need to address the goalkeeper situation and expressed hope for squad improvement before the transfer window closes. He stated that they will address Emi Martinez's situation tomorrow, implying a decision on his potential departure may be made by then.
Meanwhile, Guehi, who expressed his pleasure at playing for Crystal Palace, citing his South London roots and long association with the club, did not reveal his future plans, with the transfer window closing on Monday.
Glasner believes that keeping Guehi is crucial for a successful season for Crystal Palace. He has expressed a desire to keep the defender at Selhurst Park, praising his performance in the match against Aston Villa.
With this impressive win, Crystal Palace will be looking to build on their momentum as they continue their Premier League campaign.
