Aston Villa extended their winless streak as they settled for a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in a thrilling match at Villa Park.

On the back of losing four games across all competitions for the first time in his managerial career, Unai Emery stopped the losing run but Palace were good value for their point.

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

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

Ross Barkley did head Villa level in the second half but Palace struck a post late on through Jeffrey Schlupp.
