Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace’s central defender, hailed the 1-1 draw against West Ham United as a crucial result, marking a significant turning point for the team following recent setbacks in their Premier League campaign.

Acknowledging the competitiveness of the Premier League and the necessity of points accumulation, Guehi stressed the importance of the result, particularly after dropping crucial points in their recent fixtures.
“For us, we dropped six points in the last couple of games. Performances… you feel like you play well, and you don’t get enough out of the game. We know in the Premier League that’s not enough,” Guehi reflected, emphasizing the team’s need to translate performances into tangible outcomes.
The defender echoed the significance of attitude and performance, echoing the manager’s emphasis on the team’s display and commitment, highlighting their resilience and determination evident in their performance against West Ham.
