Sunday's 3-0 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace was Aston Villa's first home loss in any competition in ten months, adding to the team's miserable start to the season. Palace dominated after Jean-Philippe Mateta's penalty handed them an early lead, and they deserved the three points. After 68 minutes, England defender Marc Guehi, who has been linked to a move to Liverpool, scored a spectacular goal to make it 2-0 before Ismaila Sarr completed the victory for the visitors.
After two draws, Palace's first win of the season moved them up to eighth place, while second-bottom Villa has only one point from their first three games and has not scored. Villa had been unbeaten in its last 19 home league matches, a streak lasting more than a year. Palace was the last team to beat it at Villa Park, a 2-1 victory in the League Cup last October.
