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

Hughes clears a cross behind for a Villa corner, but Digne's poor delivery is headed away by Andersen. Villa come again on the opposite flank, and Mitchell concedes another corner.

Close again! Eze feeds Schlupp on the left, and his teasing low cross is just claimed by Martinez. Edouard and Mateta were both lurking in search of a tap-in.

Villa look to respond, but Digne's cross from the left is easily claimed by Johnstone. What a start to the second half this has been for Palace, who offered very little in attack before the break.

ALMOST 2-0! Edouard rides two challenges with a powerful run into the box, but Konsa and Torres just do enough to crowd him out as he looks to finish past Martinez. Villa need to wake up!

Yellow Card William James Hughes

Palace scored all three of their goals after the break when they beat Wolves last time out. Since Hodgson returned to the club in April, they have scored a higher proportion of their goals after half-time than any other Premier League team (74 per cent, 17/23, minimum five goals). The travelling fans will be hoping for more of the same here.

Assist Jean-Philippe Mateta

Goal Odsonne Édouard

Villa get the second half under way, with no changes for either side. Will we get a winner?

Villa have managed seven shots to Palace's one, creating 0.78 expected goals in that opening 45 minutes. However, they have only hit the target once. Will they end up regretting their missed chances?
