Ismaila Sarr dedicates winning goal to injured Jean-Philippe Mateta

Ismaila Sarr's late goal secured a 1-0 victory for Crystal Palace against Ipswich Town, dedicating the win to his injured teammate Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is sidelined after suffering a serious head injury. Sarr's goal came in the 82nd minute, showcasing his skill with a well-placed chip over the goalkeeper. Following the match, Sarr honored Mateta by mimicking his trademark celebration, emphasizing their camaraderie. This win marked Palace's fourth consecutive victory, moving them to 11th in the Premier League standings while Ipswich remains in the relegation zone. Mateta, who needed 25 stitches after a challenge from Millwall's goalkeeper, is expected to miss several weeks, but he will join the squad for a warm-weather training camp in Marbella. The incident leading to Mateta's injury has resulted in a six-match ban for the goalkeeper involved.
