Aston Villa have struggled for consistency and found themselves down early on here – just as they did against Chelsea on Saturday.

But this time around they could not mount a comeback despite equalising early on in the second half through Morgan Rogers.

Palace responded by going back in front through Mateta minutes later and when Sarr added his second 20 minutes from time it was game, set and match.
