7 minutes into the second half, Aston Villa equalized 1-1. Robin Olsen crossed a long ball up front for Ollie Watkins to head to Morgan Rogers, who headed into the penalty area before spinning and shooting past his marker and shooting into the net with his left foot.

However, Palace took another 2-1 lead six minutes later. Ebereshi Ese controlled the ball in the penalty area but it bounced off the foot of Jean-Philippe Mateta, who ran to receive it and fired a left-footed shot past Olsen into the net.

Villa tried to equalise but it was Palace who pulled ahead 3-1 in the 71st minute when Daniel Munoz had a chance to cross from the right into the penalty area to Ismaïla Sarr who flicked a right-footed shot into the net from 12 yards.
