Crystal Palace Secures First Away Win of Season with Mateta's Decisive Goal

Jean-Philippe Mateta's 59th-minute strike lifts Palace over Ipswich Town, deepening the hosts' struggles at home.

Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the only goal in Crystal Palace's 1-0 victory, capitalizing on a defensive slip by Ipswich's Jacob Greaves and chipping the ball over goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.
The win marks Palace's first away victory in the Premier League this season and moves them three points clear of the relegation zone, now sitting 16th with 12 points.
Ipswich Town remains winless at home since their promotion, sitting in 19th place with nine points, raising concerns about their ability to compete in the top flight.
Palace captain Marc Guéhi defied FA regulations by displaying a religious message on his rainbow armband during the league's LGBTQ+ inclusion campaign, potentially facing disciplinary action.
Eberechi Eze's return from injury bolstered Palace's attack, with key contributions throughout the match, though Ipswich came close to equalizing late when Greaves' header struck the post.
