Guehi in focus: trouble after rainbow bandage and own goal against Newcastle!

In the exciting duel between Crystal Palace and Newcastle United last Saturday in Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace won a 1-1 draw with a late goal by Daniel Muñoz. Newcastle led in the second half after Marc Guehi accidentally achieved an own goal that put the host in the lead. But the joy of the “Magpies” did not last long, since Muñoz achieved the equalization in added time and thus held Newcastle again in the middle of the table when they found themselves in tenth place, like Newcastle reported.

rule violations could threaten

The matching player Marc Guehi could expect consequences. During the rainbow Laces campaign, which supports the support for LGBTQ+ in sports, Guehi was wearing a bandage with the inscription "I love Jesus". This could violate the regulations of the English Football Association that prohibit political and religious messages, such as Laola1 reported. Guehi is the son of a pastor, which also makes the situation complicated.

The kicker Sam Morsy rejects participation in the campaign for religious reasons, as a practicing Muslim. The Match itself Bay itself the gap between the teams and the associated table problems, especially for Newcastle, who, after this draw, once again have to face a difficult game against the Liverpoolers leading in the league. Coach Eddie Howe was disappointed with the missed management of the last few minutes, which ultimately harm the points against Crystal Palace.
