Comments:

League position: 19th With their first win in their last 11 games in the Premier League, Aston Villa ended the longest current run without a win in the division (lost eight). Trézéguet became the second player to score two goals in a game for Villa in this Premier League season after Wesley in the 5-1 win at Norwich City on 5 October 2019. 37 year-old goalkeeper Pepe Reina kept his first clean sheet in a game in the Premier League since playing for Liverpool against Queens Park Rangers on 19 May 2013. Kortney Hause was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Ahmed Elmohamady was promoted to the starting XI with Jed Steer taking his place on the bench. Aston Villa were awarded a penalty after 47 minutes for a foul but was reversed after a VAR review.

Comments:

League position: 14th Crystal Palace had now lost five consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since September 2017. This was the Eagles' first defeat in their last 14 games in the Premier League against a team in the bottom three (won eight). Palace had now failed to score in the first-half in 26 of their 35 games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team. Mamadou Sakho scored after seven minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to a handball decision.
