BIRMINGHAM :A Joachim Andersen own goal handed Aston Villa a 1-0 home win over Crystal Palace in a dire Premier League clash on Saturday, after the visitors' midfielder Cheick Doucoure was sent off.
Wilfried Zaha, making his return after missing Palace's last four games due to injury, thought he had opened the scoring early on when he dribbled past goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to slot home, but it was ruled out for offside following a VAR review. Villa quickly grew into the game and dominated possession, with Palace looking threatening on the counterattack at times, but neither side was able to create much of note.
In-form forward Ollie Watkins spurned a glorious opportunity right before halftime, firing wide after being picked out by McGinn.
