Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Good save! Schlupp scoops a pass over the top for Eze, who looks to lift the ball beyond Martinez. The Villa goalkeeper reacts well, however, springing up to tip away before claiming it at the second attempt.

Palace clear their lines and break through Eze, but he overruns it on the left flank as Villa win a throw-in.

Johnstone is back up and will continue, for now. Henderson retakes his place on the bench as Palace prepare to defend this corner from the Villa right.

Johnstone has stayed down in the goalmouth, holding his calf. He looks to be in some discomfort and former Manchester United goalkeeper Henderson is warming up on the touchline.

OFF THE POST! It's desperate stuff from Palace as Hughes throws himself in front of Bailey's shot. It rebounds to Watkins, who bends an effort towards the top-right corner. The ball bounces off the post before hitting Johnstone on the back of the head and dropping wide! How is it still 1-0?!

Villa are starting to pen Palace back. Bailey sees a cross headed out by Andersen, before Digne just fails to keep Torres' lofted pass to the far post in play.

Well held! Duran latches onto a knock-down on the edge of the box before volleying at goal, but his left-footed strike skips along the surface into the gloves of Johnstone.

GREAT CHANCE FOR 2-0! Mateta wins a corner on the right, which is lifted in by Eze. Andersen pulls away at the far post to nod it across goal, and Ward somehow sends a diving header comfortably wide from six yards out. That could have been the clincher!

This match is opening up as we approach the final 20 minutes. Villa are throwing men forward in search of a leveller, but Palace continue to threaten on the break.
