🟨 | 17’ Booking, Boubacar Kamara
❌ | 29’ Goal Disallowed, (Crystal Palace), Jean-Philippe Mateta
🗒️ | Anthony Taylor deems Mateta fouled Ezri Konsa in the build up to his strike, Villa lucky there
🥅 | 31’ Goal, 0-1, (Crystal Palace), Eberechi Eze
🗒️ | An error from Pau Torres gives the ball away cheaply and Palace do what they always do against Villa.
🗒️ | Villa concede from the first shot on target for the 22nd time this season.
🗒️ | Given Villa’s difficulties against Palace’s style that is almost certainly that for our FA Cup run, it was essential to get the first goal.
🕒 | HT Aston Villa 0-1 Crystal Palace
🗒️ | Villa pressed after the goal but created nothing of real note, Palace however could, and probably should be three up, their full back missing a sitter kicking the air rather than the ball in the final knockings of the first half.
🗒️ | In truth Villa have been very poor and Palace deserve their lead but it was their only shot on target.
❌ | 53’ Missed penalty, Jean-Philippe Mateta
🗒️ | Mateta hits the post with Martínez beaten, incredibly lucky for Villa, but still Palace have just the one shot on target for their goal
🥅 | 58’ Goal, 0-2, (Crystal Palace), Ismaïla Sarr
🗒️ | Make that two shots on target and two goals…. plus a disallowed goal and a missed pen.
🔁 | 60’ Sub off, John McGinn, Sub on, Leon Bailey
🗒️ | Now that is a seriously odd substitution
🔁 | 60’ Sub off, Lucas Digne, Sub on, Ian Maatsen
🔁 | 69’ Sub off, Marco Asensio, Sub on, Jacob Ramsey
🔁 | 70’ Sub off, Boubacar Kamara, Sub on, Ross Barkley
🔁 | 79’ Sub off, Morgan Rogers, Sub on, Donyell Malen
🥅 | 90’+4 Goal, 0-3, (Crystal Palace), Ismaïla Sarr
🕒 | 90’+ 8 FT Aston Villa 0-1 Crystal Palace
🗒️ | An appalling performance on and off the pitch, not a single player turned up, a totally deserved defeat to a mid table side that looks for safety as a priority every season. The lowest point under Unai Emery by a distance. A stupidly wasted opportunity.
Feels like the end for some of these players.
