Chris Richards started for Crystal Palace while Tim Ream captained Fulham to a win. Antonee Robinson was left off the team sheet due to an injury sustained during USMNT camp. Read all about it, and watch the highlights below.
Crystal Palace 1 – 3 Aston Villa
Chris Richards was handed his Premier League debut of the season for Crystal Palace due to a squad injury. The center back was forced into action late in the second half, mis-iming his header to allow Villa in to score. Thankfully for Richards, it was called offside after a VAR review.
Emmy Martinez had a howler just 90 seconds into the second half as Odsonne Edouard was on hand to dispatch a finish after a sublime Jean-Phillippe Mateta assist. Second half sub Jhon Duran got Villa level just before the death in the 87th minute. Douglas Luiz dispatched a penalty kick in the eighth minute of added time with Leon Bailey scoring in the 11th minute of added time to seal the three points for Villa.
Richards will hope to retain his spot as Fulham come to visit on Saturday.
