Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner believes his team should have been awarded a penalty in their recent 0-0 draw against Sunderland, despite the Black Cats securing their first away point of the season at Selhurst Park. Glasner praised Sunderland’s goalkeeper, Robin Roefs, for his outstanding performance in denying the Eagles with several crucial saves.
Although acknowledging his team’s defensive consistency, Glasner expressed disappointment in their inability to convert chances into goals. He highlighted their missed opportunities and emphasized the need for more efficiency in front of goal. Glasner singled out new signing Yeremy Pino for his promising display, despite missing a key chance, and expressed confidence in his ability to be a goal scorer for the team.
Glasner also mentioned debutant Christantus Uche’s impact and believed that a penalty should have been awarded following a challenge on him by Wilson Isidor. The manager felt that the VAR should have intervened in the situation but was disappointed that it didn’t. Despite the draw, Glasner remained optimistic about his team’s performance and the potential for improvement as they continue to work together.
