FA Cup holders are winning the first victory of the season of the season to stack misery on the unfortunate villa
Crystal Palace produced a performance provided outside when they won their first first league victory of the season with a convincing 3-0 victory against an unfortunate Aston villa at Villa Park.
Jean-Philippe Mateta put the palace on their way with a penalty of the 20th minute before the second half goals of Marc Guehi and Ismaila Sarr won the victory of the team of Oliver Glasner.
Villa, on the other hand, hoped to avenge the defeat in the semifinals of the FA Cup last season, but it turned out to be a rehearsal this afternoon in April in Wembley while the West Midlanders fell to a first defeat in the Home League in 19 games.
The result aggravates which was a miserable start for the new campaign for the side of Unai Emery.
They are still waiting for a first victory of the season and have not yet found the net in none of their three opening games.
How the action took place
Villa saw the share of the lion of possession in the opening exchanges, but it was Palace who did the first blood on 20 minutes when Daichi Kamada was shot by the goalkeeper of Villa Marco Bizot in the box.
Referee Stuart Attwell awarded the kick, which Mateta duly sent to give the Oliver Glasner team the early advantage and move French on 49 goals for the London Club.
Suddenly, Palace seemed to be the team under control. Captain Guehi may be heading to Liverpool in the coming days, but the committed character of England has shown few signs of vacant while he helped keep the back door of the palace firmly closed.
The villa problem, despite the future of goalkeeper Emi Martinez overlooking their transfer activity this summer, seems to be at the opposite end of the field.
When I got into the match, Unai Emery’s men were the only side of the Premier League to find the back of the net this trimester, and it seemed that this unwanted label would continue when Dean Henderson denied Ollie Watkins at a bland range.
Glasner suffered a hard blow shortly after restarting when the influential midfielder Adam Wharton – who was called to the England team of Thomas Tuchel last week – hindered 55 minutes.
Villa, on the other hand, appeared somewhat rejuvenated in the second half. But still, the required final touch continued to escape them.
And it would cost them. In the 69th minute, visitors extended their advance when Guehi found himself at the upper end of the terrain and whipped a wonderful strike in the upper corner.
Few separation gifts, if it actually turns out to be just as for Guehi, will be just as impressive.
Watkins and Donyell Malen then closely targeted for villa as they desperately tried to fall back into the tie.
But things would soon go from bad to worse for the hosts. The long return of Jefferson Lerma was turned towards the head of Sarr, who courageously nodded to the back post for the third of Palace.
He closed a clever performance by the winners of the FA Cup. While for the villa, their difficult start of the season seems more and more perilous.
