    "Crystal Palace are worthy winners. They've been excellent in this second half. They would have been hard done by only getting a draw."

    We may well have a winner. And it is a nightmare for left-back Jordan Amavi. He loses possession close to his own goal to Scott Dann, who sends the ball to Bakary Sako. The debutant arrows a fine finish into the bottom corner. And Palace lead again.

    "It's been all Crystal Palace but then after a great bit of skill from Adama Traore Aston Villa are level. It's an unfortunate own goal from Pape Souare."

    GOAL - Pape Souare (own goal)published at 77 mins

    Crystal Palace 1-1 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa equalise. It is a wonderful run from the substitute Adama Traore. He starts on the right wing and gets to the byeline before he pulls the ball back and it bounces off the unfortunate Pape Souare and into his own net.

    "Ciaran Clark has to look at himself – is he really good enough for Aston Villa at the top level? That’s a poor, poor mistake. Dann makes the jump and Clark doesn’t even attempt to get off the ground.”

    Almost a second for the hosts. A great, jinking run from Bakary Sako before he unleashes a powerful shot at goal, which Brad Guzan acrobatically tips over the crossbar.

    There is no doubt about this one. Jason Puncheon takes a left-wing corner and defender Scott Dann gets above his marker Ciaran Clark to power a header into the net. Full-back Jordan Amavi tried to clear the ball off the line, but the header had too much pace on it and Palace lead.

    "James McArthur is offside... eventually - the goal was originally given. Dwight Gayle's shot is miles off target and I think McArthur looks just offside. There must have been at least minute between the goal being given and the referee changing his mind."

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Aston Villa

    Controversy at Selhurst Park. Dwight Gayle's shot on the turn bounces off James McArthur's chest and past Brad Guzan in the Aston Villa goal.

    The players celebrate the goal and the stadium announcer says Palace have scored. But the referee chats with assistant Peter Kirkup, who says McArthur was standing in an offside position when the ball hit him.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Aston Villa

    After Jack Grealish's effort is blocked for a corner, Aston Villa have another chance, but Rudy Gestede's free header misses the target. Not a day to remember so far for the big man.

    Gestede's foul leads to a Palace free-kick 25 yards out. Yohan Cabaye tries to whip it over the wall, but Ciaran Clark then heads it away for a corner which Brad Guzan gathers comfortably.

    A high boot from Villa striker Rudy Gestede sees him become the next name to be taken by referee Keith Stroud. It is getting a bit lively.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa's Leandro Bacuna goes for glory, but it is a selfish option with other players in the penalty area. Bacuna's shot goes wide and his team-mates are not impressed.

  19. YELLOW CARD - Cabaye (Crystal Palace)published at 50 mins

    Yohan Cabaye is one of the most cultured players in the Premier League. He can certainly spot a pass. But his tackling is not the best. He hacks down Jack Grealish. And is booked.

    Those Crystal Palace substitutions make an instant impact as they create their side's best chance of the match. Dwight Gayle starts it off by releasing Jordon Mutch, whose right-wing cross finds Bakary Sako at the far post. But from a tight angle Sako cannot beat Brad Guzan.
