Marc Guehi's Stunning Goal Seals Crystal Palace's Victory Over Aston Villa

Crystal Palace continued their impressive form with a dominant 3-0 win over Aston Villa, thanks in large part to Marc Guehi's stunning second-half goal. The victory extended Palace's unbeaten streak to 14 matches across all competitions, a club record. Villa, on the other hand, suffered their heaviest home defeat since March 2024.

Marc Guehi scoring

Palace took the lead in the 21st minute through a Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty, awarded after Daichi Kamada was fouled by Marco Bizot. Guehi then doubled the lead with a curling effort from outside the box, his first Premier League goal from beyond eight yards. Ismaila Sarr completed the scoring with a late header.

The match statistics highlighted Palace's dominance, with an expected goals (xG) of 2.67 compared to Villa's 1.13. Villa's struggles continue, as they remain winless and goalless in their first three Premier League games.
