“Blimey, what a sickener for Crystal Palace! Ebere Eze’s stunning 30-yard free-kick was disallowed for a perceived push in the box, and I’m still fuming about it!

“I’ve seen some soft decisions in my time, but this one takes the biscuit. The referee’s early whistle meant VAR couldn’t intervene, and Eze’s protests were spot on. He knew he’d been robbed!

“Palace’s performance was top-notch, with plenty of chances created throughout the match. But that disallowed goal changed the game. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but they can’t let it get them down.

“As a former player, I know how much that goal would’ve meant to Palace. It’s not just about the result; it’s about the momentum and confidence that comes with scoring a beauty like that.

“Ian Wright’s Verdict: Palace were robbed! The referee made a mistake, and VAR couldn’t fix it. But Palace can’t dwell on it. They need to pick themselves up and go again.

“Oliver Glasner’s got a tough job ahead of him, but I know he’ll get the lads fired up for the next match. They’ll need to be, because the Premier League doesn’t give you time to feel sorry for yourself.

“That disallowed goal will haunt Palace for a while, but they can’t let it define their season. They’ve got the talent and the grit to bounce back and make a real push for the top half.”
