Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace: Joachim Andersen own goal leaves visitors winless in 2023

Crystal Palace are still waiting for their first Premier League win of 2023 after Joachim Andersen's own goal saw them fall to a narrow defeat at Aston Villa.

Patrick Vieira's side played the final half hour with 10 men after Cheick Doucoure was sent off for two bookings in the space of five minutes and have now gone nine matches without a victory.

Aston Villa were the better side in a drab encounter at Villa Park and took the lead after 27 minutes when John McGinn released Matty Cash down the right. The full-back burst into the penalty area and, with Ollie Watkins waiting to pounce, his low ball across the face of goal was turned in by the sliding Andersen.
