Ismaila Sarr sealed the win for Palace, bringing an end to Villa's 19-match unbeaten streak at home in the league. The victory lifted Palace to eighth in the table, while Villa, who have yet to score, remain second-bottom.

The win has sparked renewed speculation about Guehi's future at Palace, with the transfer window closing on Monday. Manager Oliver Glasner has repeatedly expressed his desire to keep the 25-year-old defender, citing his importance to the team's success.

Glasner praised Guehi's performance, saying, "We have to keep him. I told this to the chairman. He's a professional player and a nice guy. It's for the future of Crystal Palace. We have to keep him."

Guehi himself downplayed the transfer rumors, saying, "I'm a South London boy. Captain of the club from a young age. They've been fantastic for me and my family. So it's definitely a pleasure to play for this football club."

The win was a clinical display by Palace, who thoroughly deserved their three points. Villa, meanwhile, are still searching for their first goal of the season and will be hoping to strengthen their squad in the final hours of the transfer window.
