Overview
- Jean-Philippe Mateta scored from the spot, Marc Guéhi curled in a standout second and Ismaïla Sarr headed a third in Palace’s first league win of the season at Villa Park.
- Aston Villa’s 19-match unbeaten home league run ended, leaving Unai Emery’s side winless and still without a goal after three Premier League games.
- Goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez was left out of Villa’s squad as interest from Manchester United was reported, with Marco Bizot starting and conceding the penalty; Emery said decisions are expected before the deadline.
- Sky Sports reported Liverpool made an improved £35m offer for Guéhi, with Palace only open to a sale if a suitable replacement arrives, as Glasner insisted, “We have to keep him.”
- Palace midfielder Adam Wharton went off with an abductor issue, with scans scheduled and his England involvement now in doubt.
