[Post Match Thread] Aston Villa 2-2 Crystal Palace

And with that we managed to snatch a point to Palace who are now in the relegation zone. How did we get here? Well defensively we were not good. Palace scored two counter attack goals as they split our defence twice. First it was Sarr who scored early on. Villa did fight back with Watkins as McGinn sent him through. Before the break, Villa could have went into half time leading as Bailey won a penalty. But Henderson saved Tielemans effort, and the resulting corner Palace broke away and Devenny converted Sarr's cross. In the second half, Villa did play better and eventually though a corner Barkley headed in Tieleman's cross.

Stand out player? It would have to be Barkley. Second half was the player in midfield, scored and was really involved all througout the game. Credit to Barkley here.

Position wise, we are going to drop a few places. We are 7th, which could be a European place, but we could drop down to 8th by the end of the weekend. We are now 3 points off from Top 4 at the moment.
