Palace Captain Marc Guehi Confronts Fans After FA Cup Humiliation

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi approached angry supporters moments after his side's humiliating FA Cup defeat to National League North side Macclesfield on Saturday. The holders, who had won the trophy last season, crashed out in the third round after a 2-1 loss at Moss Rose.

Paul Dawson put Macclesfield ahead just before half-time, and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts doubled the lead on the hour mark. Palace pulled one back through Yeremy Pino, but the hosts held on for one of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history.

After the final whistle, Guehi walked over to the away end to listen to fans' frustrations. Palace manager Oliver Glasner was scathing in his assessment, saying: 'We had no kind of quality today. If you can't create clear chances, it is a lack of quality. We deserved to lose.'

Macclesfield manager John Rooney said: 'I can't believe it. We were incredible from the first minute. I thought we were deserved winners.' The Silkmen now await Monday's fourth-round draw, while Palace turn their attention to a Premier League clash with Sunderland.
