Villa scored twice in stoppage time after only equalising in the 87th minute.
Aston Villa scored two stoppage-time goals to complete a late turnaround as they won 3-1 against Crystal Palace, who were without their unwell manager Roy Hodgson.
Leon Bailey’s goal two minutes later sealed what was a worthy victory for the hosts, who bossed the majority of the game. But his mood would not have been improved after the chaotic end to the match where his side conceded three times in 13 minutes.They did not make it easy for themselves either and Joel Ward presented Ollie Watkins with a golden chance to open the scoring as he misplaced a pass and the Villa striker went clean through on goal but Sam Johnstone produced a good save to rescue his captain.
It was the 25-year-old striker’s fourth Premier League goal of the season and gave Palace a lead out of nowhere.
