Crystal Palace take flight and trouble Gerrard’s Aston Villa

The most entertaining match took place at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace got their first win of the season before the one Aston Villa in its weakest version.

Set by Patrick Vieira came off the back of Watkins’ opening goal to finally beat Steven Gerrard, who has a lot of work ahead of him if he is to aspire to make it to Europe this year.

Diego Carlos’ injury – his Achilles ruptured – did a lot of damage to the ‘villains’, who when they don’t have the ball show themselves to be a very soft team. Attacks prevailed over defenses in this matchalthough Crystal Palace knew how to correct to close their frame as the minutes ticked by.

The match began for Villa, given that the moment it started Ollie Watkins put his team first with rapid motion. Mings sent in a long ball, Bailey brought it down and let the Englishman in against Vicente Guaita, who couldn’t keep out 0-1 (5′).

The show was huge, as the attacks dominated the clash forming a endless occasions. However, the score did not move until the second half, mainly because Schlupp’s goal in the 20th minute was disallowed at the request of VAR.

The second time started with the same tonic and with Aston Villa hit the ball against the post on a Bailey thread the squad is looking for. VAR intervention then decided the match when the referee flagged Lucas Digne’s hands inside the area. Punishment.

Zaha took responsibility and made a mistake the first time, but he knows how to accept the refusal of Emi Martínez to put 2-1 (58′). In the closing stages, Mateta would finish off one-touch play between Mitchell and Zaha to bring joy to Selhust Park and secure the first win of the season for surging Palace.
