    Aston Villa's youth team are level against Liverpool.

  10. 'It was a rocket'

    Former England and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    What a worldie of a goal. Nuno Espirito Santo turned round to the bench behind him and said 'wow'. It was a beautiful strike. He had a one versus one against Eze and he smashed it with his left foot. It was a rocket.

    GOAL - Wolves 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Adama Traore (35 mins)

    BOOOOOOM.

    Adama Traore gets the ball on the right wing, cuts inside and lashes an absolute thunderbolt into the top corner from the edge of the box.

    It's been coming.

    Sublime Traore strike gives Wolves the lead against Crystal Palace

  15. Wolves 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Karen Carney
    Former England and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Some teams are worried when the opposition have too much of the ball but Crystal Palace aren't bothered by that at all. It is how they play. Everything is in front of them at the moment.

    Wolves are having the better of the possession but they need to get Pedro Neto on the ball.

  16. Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpool

    Mohamed Salah rolls the ball back to Jordan Henderson, whose cross is caught by Akos Onodi. The Hungarian has been excellent in Villa's goal.

  17. Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpool

    Great tackle from Villa defender Mamadou Sylla to slide in and win the ball from Jordan Henderson in the box.

    The Catalan is a regular in the Villa U18 squad.

  18. Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpool

    James Milner sends a defender one way and then the other. His cross finds Mohamed Salah, whose header bounces into the keeper's hands.

  19. Wolves 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Karen Carney
    Former England and Chelsea winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Nelson Semedo seems to go wherever he wants. He has just played a ball and ended up on the left wing. You might do that at Barcelona but not here.

    Palace are seeing those areas as spaces to exploit both Wolves full-backs are brilliant in attack look like they could be vulnerable in defence.

  20. Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpool

    Imagine the scenes if Villa scored. They win another corner as Louie Barry runs forward and Kaine Kesler's cross is put behind by Curtis Jones before someone can finish behind him.
