"Daniel Munoz scored and Dean Henderson made a fantastic save as Crystal Palace held on to beat Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor. Following a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday, the Eagles got back to winning ways in the Premier League courtesy of a 44th-minute header from Munoz. Martin Dubravka and Henderson had early work to do at either end, with the Clarets' goalkeeper denying Jean-Philippe Mateta before Jaidon Anthony saw his curling effort tipped around the post."
"There were few clear-cut chances from both sides, with Burnley producing 0.88 expected goals (xG) from 11 shots compared to Palace's 0.59 from just three attempts. But Palace's defence remained strong whenever they were called upon, particularly Guehi. He won 100% of his aerial duels (8/8) and made 10 clearances for his side, while also recording the most touches (83) and successful passes (54) to go along with his superb assist."
Crystal Palace won 1-0 at Turf Moor with a 44th-minute header from Daniel Munoz. Marc Guehi supplied the cross for Munoz's finish into the bottom-left corner, leaving Martin Dubravka unable to react. Dean Henderson produced key saves, notably pushing Jacob Bruun Larsen's thunderous second-half strike onto the crossbar, and preserved the clean sheet late when Chris Richards cleared Armando Broja's header off the line. Chances were limited: Burnley registered 0.88 xG from 11 shots while Palace managed 0.59 xG from three attempts. Guehi dominated defensively, winning all eight aerial duels, making ten clearances and recording the most touches and passes.
