Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner expressed frustration over a potential penalty decision that was not awarded in their match against Sunderland. The incident involved Eagles’ new signing Christantus Uche, who fell in the box after a challenge from Black Cats’ Wilson Isidor. Glasner believed that the contact warranted a penalty, noting that the VAR should have intervened in the situation.
Despite the missed penalty opportunity, Palace’s forward Yeremy Pino, who was making his full debut, had a solid performance. The Spanish winger, signed from Villarreal for £26 million, showcased his skills and positioning but missed a crucial chance to score in the first half. Glasner praised Pino’s overall performance and expressed confidence in his ability to contribute goals to the team once he adapts to the physicality and pace of the Premier League.
On the other side, Sunderland continued their positive start to the season with a well-earned away point, adding to their consecutive victories at the Stadium of Light. The result maintained their momentum after earning promotion, highlighting their strong performance in the early stages of the campaign.
