Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Aston Villa FC gets underway.
  • 5' It looks surprising Crystal Palace FC does not make any changes. Will Hughes has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' Aston Villa FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 17' John McGinn picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 22' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' The crowd applauds Jordan Ayew as he leaves the pitch. Jean-Philippe Mateta steps in for Crystal Palace FC.
  • 30' Crystal Palace FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 34' What a moment for Moussa Diaby! That strike on 34 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 39' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Aston Villa FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 44' The 33-year-old Emiliano Martinez has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 45' Nicolo Zaniolo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 45.
  • 47' Odsonne Edouard makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and Crystal Palace FC are in front.
  • 52' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Joachim Andersen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Will Hughes.
  • 57' Another substitution for Aston Villa FC to replace Nicolo Zaniolo by Leon Bailey on 57 minute.
  • 58' Aston Villa FC ring the changes. Boubacar Kamara has done his job and it is now time for Youri Tielemans to step up.
  • 63' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 63 minutes.
  • 68' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Crystal Palace FC that had 322 games and scored 376 goals.
  • 71' A change in the Aston Villa FC ranks — John McGinn exits the field as Jhon Duran enters on 71.
  • 76' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 81' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 86' The referee shows Aston Villa FC player a Yellow card on 86.
  • 87' Brilliant from the ! Jhon Duran makes it 2-1 with a superb finish on 87.
  • 90' Crystal Palace FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Naouirou Ahamada is hanging Odsonne Edouard on the field on 90 minute.
  • 90' Jhon Duran was booked on 90.
  • Crystal Palace FC will have plenty to reflect on. Aston Villa FC were simply the better side today.
