      Ismaila Sarr pays classy tribute to injured team-mate Jean-Philippe Mateta with goal celebration against Ipswich

      by

      THE EAGLES seemed more interested in a trip to ‘Marbs’ than a flight up the table as they made heavy work of breaching the Premier League’s third worst defence.With no competitive fixtures for three weeks, Oliver Glasner is taking his troops to Marbella on Monday for a warm weather training camp.Ismaila Sarr emulates Mateta’s celebration after grabbing the winnerCredit: ReutersThomas Tuchel watches on from the stands at Selhurst ParkCredit: GettyYet it looked like his in-form Palace players were already on the Spanish beaches as they struggled to get into gear against struggling Ipswich and find the Costa del Goal.Their blushes were only spared when Ismaila Sarr struck in the 82nd minute with his eighth goal in the League this season – paying tribute to injured team-mate Jean-Philippe Mateta in the process.This was meant to be the day that Eddie Nketiah stepped into the spotlight, with top scorer Mateta sidelined by the nasty facial injury he suffered against Millwall in the FA Cup.With Mateta linked by the French media with a £40million move to Manchester United in the summer, there was even more incentive for the 25-year-old to make his mark on his first Premier League start since November 2.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLManager Glasner is well aware that Nketiah has struggled since his £25million summer transfer from Arsenal, but he told his young striker not to feel any pressure, and that he had earned his chance.However, the tone was set from the second minute when Nketiah was released by a delicious pass from Adam Wharton. He delayed pulling the trigger and ended up seeing his shot blocked by goalkeeper Alex Palmer.The form book pointed to a win for Palace, who had won seven of their last nine games in all competitions and who were aiming to win four consecutive fixtures in all competitions for the first time since 2020.The omens were not great for third from bottom Ipswich, as The Eagles had not lost any of their last 18 Premier League home games against sides starting the day in the relegation zone for eight years.Most read in SportThis was a match in which Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys were desperate to close the gap on 17th-placed Wolves, but in the end, they couldn’t capitalise on a sluggish Palace performance and secure their first Premier League win in 2025.The Palace winner was rough luck on Palmer, who had dealt with whatever Palace could throw at him, but he was finally beaten when Sarr pounced on a loose ball and dinked it over the goalkeeper’s diving body and into the net.Palace were always going to miss Mateta, who has scored 12 times for Palace in 27 Premier League appearances this term – leading to Palace boss Oliver Glasner dubbing him the “best finisher” he’s worked with.Max Fosh tries SHREDDING yellow card after being booked by ex-Premier League ref in Sidemen vs YouTube All Stars clashMateta will at least be joining his team-mates on Monday for their visit to Spain, although he will train alone.Nketiah – on a run of two goals in his last two matches – was one of four changes to the Palace side, as Adam Wharton, Dean Henderson and Tyrick Mitchell returned.Ipswich came into the game with a stack of injuries and made three changes, with Luke Woolfenden, Kalvin Phillips and Julio Enciso all starting.It was a lively opening as after Nketiah’s miss, Ipswich broke down the left and when Leif Davis crossed it needed a good save from Dean Henderson to keep out Jaden Philogene’s effort at the far post.This was the first top-flight meeting between the sides at Selhurst Park since Palace’s 3-0 win in November 1994, and as the game settled, the hosts took control.Millwall goalkeeper Liam Roberts wipes out Jean-Philippe Mateta in the FA Cup last weekendCredit: ReutersJefferson Lerma fired just wide from 20 yards after 14 minutes, then Eberechi Eze saw a free kick well defended by the wall.Eze was denied again soon after when Jacob Greaves, who picked up an early booking for pulling back Sarr, made a vital lunge to block his shot from eight yards.Eze was guilty of trying to dribble the ball out of defence and when he lost out to Julio Enciso, Henderson again produced an important save.It was that man Eze in the thick of the action soon after the break, when his shot from the edge of the box took a deflection to loop beyond Palmer before bouncing off the post.Ipswich have scored only 26 goals in the top flight this season but they had their chances.As the hour mark came, Enciso’s tame shot from distance was followed with a goalmouth scramble that needed Sarr to hook the ball off the line.It was end to end, and Palmer made an acrobatic save to turn away another deflected Eze shot, before Daniel Munoz produced a poor finish by shooting at the goalkeeper’s legs rather than lifting the ball towards goal.READ MORE SUN STORIESBen Johnson headed over the bar for Ipswich when he might have taken more time and trouble, but it was not going to be Ipswich’s day.Just when you thought the visitors might snatch a point from their trip to South London, Sarr showed his team-mates who it should be done, keeping a calm head to finish beyond the advancing goalkeeper to give the home fans a mixture of joy and relief at finally getting over the line.The Tractor Boys are now five points from safetyCredit: Reuters More

      Why Man Utd were forced into nightmare journey back from Fulham with miserable stars arriving in Manchester at 1.30am

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED stars had to be driven back home by coach after their Premier League match at Fulham.United defeated the Cottagers 1-0 on Sunday thanks to Lisandro Martinez’s winner at Craven Cottage.Manuel Ugarte was visibily upset after Manchester United’s hellacious trip backCredit: Eamonn and James ClarkeAlejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo had to endure a three-and-a-half-hour coach trip back to ManchesterCredit: Eamonn and James ClarkeRasmus Hojlund saw Man Utd’s flight back from London getting cancelledCredit: Eamonn and James ClarkeMatthijs de Ligt and co couldn’t board the plane due to problems with the airlineCredit: Eamonn and James ClarkeThe Red Devils were scheduled to fly back to Manchester Airport but the flight was cancelled.Problems with the airline meant going back home by plane was no longer an option.And so Man Utd had to endure a THREE-AND-A-HALF-HOUR coach journey to Manchester.Ruben Amorim’s men faced Fulham at 7pm and the manager finished his post-match press conference at about 9.40pm.Read More on Man UtdThe team arrived back at Manchester Airport at about 1.30AM to get on their cars that they had parked nearby anticipating a flight back.Some players, such as Manuel Ugarte, seemed visibly frustrated after the horrendous ordeal.United are training on Monday despite the horrible journey, but have Tuesday off.Amorim will hold practice again on Wednesday morning before the three-hour flight to Romania.Most read in FootballBest new sign-up offersSunSport exclusivesThat is where they will take on FCSB on Thursday’s crunch Europa League clash as they look to seal a place in the top eight.That leads straight to the Last 16, which is quite important for United amid their ongoing woes in the Premier League.Gary Neville tells Match of the Day legend ‘please stop putting me forward as Man Utd manager’The Red Devils have plunged down to 12th place in the table, which means winning the Europa League poses as their best chance of gaining Champions League qualification next season.The club has dealt with off-field woes as well with fans furious following the rise in ticket prices.That led to the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust issuing an open letter to minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe warning him about the negative effects of that decision.MAN UTD PLAYER RATINGS: Maguire puts in superb defensive display but Garnacho caught running into blind alleysMANCHESTER UNITED secured a hard-fought three points against Fulham.Lisandro Martinez’s deflected strike proved to be the difference in what was the Red Devils’ only shot on target all game.Harry Maguire impressed but Alejandro Garnacho once again failed to impress in what could have been his Man Utd farewell amid rumours linking him with Napoli and Chelsea.Here is how SunSport rated the individual performances.Andre Onana – 7Good save low down to his left to keep out an Alex Iwobi shot early doors.Other than that he was barely tested but no glaring errors mean it is a step in the right direction for the Red Devils No1.Diogo Dalot – 6Had a difficult time in the first half up against Iwobi who was Fulham’s main attacking threat.Switched to the left flank in the second half and supported Garnacho without posing much of a threat.Matthijs de Ligt – 8Another strong showing at the back from the Dutchman. Without his support for Dalot, Fulham may have created a goal down United’s right-hand side.Harry Maguire – 9A superb defensive display from the England star who has been one of United’s best players since Amorim took charge.Pulled off a brilliant header at the back post to deny Rodrigo Muniz a certain goal.Lisandro Martinez – 8Superb last-ditch tackle to prevent Emile Smith Rowe from shooting as he burst through on goal.His goal had a big slice of luck as it was deflected past Bernd Leno but credit to him for having the audacity to shoot.Noussair Mazraoui – 7Solid at the back and tried to get forward when he could. United looked more balance with him on the left and Dalot on the right, although the pair swapped at half-time.Manuel Ugarte – 6Showed some nice touches and was a bit of a menace in the middle – in a positive and negative sense. Kept a close eye on Smith Rowe and allowed him no time on the ball.Booked for a foul on Adama Traore and was taken off shortly afterwards with an injury.Bruno Fernandes – 5Not at his best. Barely saw the ball in the first half and was not very effective when he did get it.Amad Diallo – 6Looked bright on the ball and United’s only real outlet going forward.He worked tirelessly and pressed really well – his hard work paid off when he found the back of the net in stoppage time but his effort was chalked off.Alejandro Garnacho – 3Was cautious on the ball and ran into blind alleys too often. Final ball let him down on the rare occasion he did manage to beat a defender.Rasmus Hojlund – 4His hold up play is nowhere near good enough for this system or for a club like United.He was too gung-ho at times and his erratic nature meant linking up with Amad and Garnacho proved difficult.Hauled off before the hour mark which says it all about his performance.Subs:Leny Yoro (for De Ligt, 58mins) – 6A more assured display given his shaky start to life in the Premier League.Joshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 58mins) – 5Like Hojlund he had a difficult time holding the ball up but United improved with him on the pitch.Toby Collyer (for Ugarte, 76mins ) – 6Solid display again from the youngster who was often in the right position to clear, including one on the line to stop a Joachim Andersen header from going in.Kobbie Mainoo (for Garnacho, 80mins) – 6Provided energy in midfield and shored things up alongside Collyer.A brilliant one-two with Amad set up the winger to score before VAR ruled Amad offside.Tyrell Malacia (for Mazraoui, 80mins) – 6Brought on in an unfamiliar right wing-back role but did what was needed to see out the clean sheet.
