European Tour

## Our Senegalese Sarr

> Ismaïla Sarr became the club’s third signing of the 2024/25 summer transfer window after joining on a five-year deal from Olympique de Marseille.

The 26-year-old attacker possesses plenty of experience of English football, having spent four years at Watford – recording 34 goals and 22 assists in 131 games – prior to joining Marseille, whom he helped reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League last season.

Sarr's career began in French football with Metz, before moving to Rennes and leading the club into Europe, as well as winning their first Coupe de France in almost half a century.

At international level, he has been a mainstay of the Senegal national side, earning 64 caps, scoring 13 goals and winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021.

His career has also been defined by his eye for the spectacular, having won Goal of the Season awards in both the Football League and the Europa League.

Sarr was ever-present in every Premier League matchday squad in his first season at the club, playing in all 38 games, while also featuring in a further nine cup games. He scored 11 goals across all competitions, with eight additional assists - including a stunning effort against rivals Brighton & Hove Albion and a brace against Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final.

### **Six**

Palace have now won our last six Premier League home games against Wolves – our longest winning run against an opponent in our top-flight history.

### **1977**

We last won six consecutive home league games (any division) against an individual opponent against Walsall – a run which stretched from 1977 to 2004!

### **9 in 11**

Indeed, if you take away games into account, we have now won nine of our last 11 games against Wolves – which contributes to...

### **63%**

Palace have now won 63% of our Premier League games (10 wins from 16 meetings) against the team from Molineux – our highest win rate against any side we've faced on more than 10 occasions.

### **104**

Evann Guessand's first goal for Palace – a 90th-minute winner – saw him become the 104th different player to score for the club in the Premier League (not including the 22 own-goal scorers in our favour!).

Evann Guessand reflects on goalscoring perfomance

### **25**

On the occasion of his 150th Premier League appearance, Sunday marked Dean Henderson's 25th clean sheet in a Palace shirt – drawing him level with Nigel Martyn in third place in our Premier League standings, in turn behind only Wayne Hennessey (28) and Vicente Guaita (42).

### **10**

That total includes 10 in the league this season, and required...

### **Seven**

Saves along the way on Sunday – notably the penalty save from Tolu Arokodare, but also further efforts from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Santiago Bueno. It was the highest number of any Premier League 'keeper this weekend.

### **One**

Only one other goalkeeper in the Premier League has recorded more shut-outs so far this season: Arsenal's David Raya (13).

### **33.3%**

Among goalkeepers who have faced 15 or more penalty kicks in the Premier League, Henderson has the joint-best save ratio in the competition (33.3% - 5/15) along with Mark Bosnich (33.3% - 6/18).

### **34.3%**

Henderson's intervention came in his 99th appearance for the club in all competitions. 

Of the 19 goalkeepers who have made 99+ appearances for Palace, Henderson currently has the third best clean sheet percentage – behind only John Burridge (40.2%, 1978-1980) and Jack Alderson (35.1%, 1919-1924). 

However, only 42 of Burridge's appearances were when Palace were in the top-tier, and Alderson's were all when Palace were in the Southern League, Division Three or Division Two. 

### **Second**

Of the six Palace goalkeepers to have played 40 or more matches for the club in the top-flight, Henderson has the second-best clean sheet percentage (30%) behind Nigel Martyn (32%). 

### **Seven**

Sunday's stop was Henderson's seventh penalty save in a Crystal Palace shirt, including his stops at Aston Villa (against Ollie Watkins) in November 2024; three penalties at Wembley (against Omar Marmoush in the FA Cup final last season; and two in the Community Shield win over Liverpool earlier this campaign, against Alexis Mac Allister and Harvey Elliott).
