Aston Villa 2-2 Crystal Palace: Henderson saves Tielemans pen in frantic draw

Aston Villa's stuttering form continued as they drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace in a highly entertaining encounter at Villa Park.

Having lost four games in all competitions for the first time in his managerial career, Unai Emery halted the losing streak, but Palace were good value for their point.

The excellent Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring for Palace before Ollie Watkins equalised.

The drama reached a peak just before half-time when Dean Henderson saved a penalty from Youri Tielemans and Palace scored on the counter-attack through Justin Devenny just 57 seconds later – his first professional goal.

Ross Barkley led Villa to level in the second half, but Palace hit a post late on through Jeffrey Schlupp.

Villa have now taken just seven points from their last seven Premier League games and won just five of their last 16 matches either side of the summer.
