Marc Guehi crystal palace
Patrick Vieira says Marc Guehi will learn from his error against Leeds United that cost Crystal Palace a penalty at Elland Road on Tuesday night. The England Under-21 captain handled the ball from a corner three minutes into stoppage time against the Whites, leaving referee Kevin Friend with no other option than to point to the spot after consulting with VAR. He also praised the young defender for what he believed was a solid overall performance during the game and said it was indicative of the start he has made to life in a Palace shirt.
Patrick Viera said: “I don’t need to speak to [Marc] about it. I think he is frustrated and he will learn from that. This is a player who needs to keep developing himself and to learn you have to go through those situations. But I’m really pleased with the game that he had tonight. I think Marc is growing as a player and as a person and I was really impressed with his leadership in the squad since he arrived.”
Despite the loss – Palace’s second in as many matches following defeat to Aston Villa last time out – Vieira said he was pleased with the application shown by his team throughout the 90 minutes.
Patrick Viera said: “I think the performance tonight is more positive. Obviously, the outcome of the game wasn’t something that we wanted. But the performance was what I wanted from the squad from the team, because we defended well as a team. We didn’t give them so much space, they didn’t create so many chances.”
He was also honest with his thoughts on the decision to award Leeds their penalty, adding: “If it was on the other side, I would expect the referee to give the penalty. I had a chance to look at it again and I believe it was a penalty.”
