Ivory Coast forward Evann Guessand powers Crystal Palace to victory over Wolves

Ivorian striker Evann Guessand has quickly made his mark at Crystal Palace FC, emerging as the hero in Sunday’s Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.

Having joined Palace on loan from Aston Villa FC at the end of January, Guessand is already demonstrating why he was brought to Selhurst Park. In only his second appearance for the Eagles, the 23-year-old centre-forward delivered a moment of pure drama on Matchday 27.

The game was tightly contested, with both sides battling for supremacy throughout. It wasn’t until the 90th minute that Guessand etched his name into the headlines. Picking his moment perfectly, the Ivorian latched onto a decisive chance and slotted home the winner, handing Palace a 1-0 triumph and sparking wild celebrations among the home fans.

This goal marked Guessand’s first for the Eagles in the Premier League, adding to an assist he registered in his debut campaign appearances. In just three matches for Palace, the striker has already contributed directly to two goals, highlighting his instant impact and his potential as a key attacking asset for the remainder of the season.

Managerial staff and supporters alike have been impressed by Guessand’s composure, movement, and finishing ability, suggesting that his loan move could prove transformative for Crystal Palace’s attacking options. If this start is any indication, the Ivorian forward could be one of the signing highlights of the January window, giving the Eagles fresh momentum as they push for Premier League stability.
