Aston Villa secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, despite falling behind to an early goal from Joachim Andersen.
The Eagles took the lead in the 20th minute when Andersen inadvertently turned the ball into his own net following a corner. However, Villa rallied after the break and equalized through Douglas Luiz's penalty in the 60th minute. Luiz converted another penalty just 10 minutes later to give the hosts the lead, and Alex Moreno sealed the victory with a goal in stoppage time.
The result lifts Villa to 13th in the Premier League table, while Palace remain in 15th.
