Aston Villa Draws 2-2 with Crystal Palace

Aston Villa managed to secure a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace at Villa Park, with Ross Barkley scoring a late equaliser. Despite dominating possession, Villa struggled to convert chances, missing a penalty from Youri Tielemans, which was saved by Palace's Dean Henderson. Ismaila Sarr opened the scoring for Palace early in the match, followed by Ollie Watkins equalising for Villa. Justin Devenny restored Palace's lead, but Barkley's header salvaged a point for Villa, who remain winless since late October. This match marked Unai Emery's first streak of four consecutive defeats as a manager, raising concerns about the team's performance ahead of their upcoming European match against Juventus. Meanwhile, Palace's struggles continue as they remain in the relegation zone.
