Marc Guehi reveals Crystal Palace dressing room mood as Patrick Vieira rues lack of creativity

Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi admitted he and his teammates were disappointed to only come away from the Brentford Community Stadium with a point on Saturday afternoon.

The Eagles were good merit for their clean sheet but for struggled offensively in a game of few clear-cut chances for either side, with Jordan Ayew spurning the visitors best chance when he lashed over from inside the box.

The point sees Palace up to 12th in the Premier League table though Leicester, who face West Ham on Sunday and are one place behind the Eagles in 13th, have three games in hand.

“I’d say [it was] a well-earned point,” Guehi said after the match. “It was a really tough game and a tough place to come to. They made it difficult for us with the game they play, playing balls in behind you.

“I thought we defended well. I would say we’re a bit disappointed. It was a well-earned point but we really want to come to these places and win.

“I thought we kept the ball well, created good chances. We bided our time when we had the ball, took our time to switch the play but just couldn’t find that killer pass or killer shot. We’re a bit disappointed.”

Guehi was involved in a moment of controversy during the first half when his arm clearly slapped against the ball while jumping for a header, with the incident being checked by VAR.

The replays showed that he had actually been pushed by Christian Norgaard though, with referee Simon Hooper awarding Palace a free-kick.

Guehi said there was little doubt in his mind that’d be fouled, adding: “I felt the push - I felt an arm in the back of my head. When you jump, you want to raise your arms as well. Personally, I think it was the right decision.”
