Dean Henderson

After suffering four consecutive losses across all competitions for the first time in his managerial career, Unai Emery finally put an end to the losing streak. However, Crystal Palace put up a strong performance and deservedly earned a point from the match.

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.
