It was a mixed afternoon for Aston Villa boss Emery, who took positives and negatives from the performance.

Villa showed great character to twice come from behind, while in the second half their attacking play looked much more like what fans saw last season.

Were it not for the superb performances of Palace goalkeeper Henderson and Lacroix, Villa would surely have scored a third.

The 33-year-old found himself dropped from the Pompey starting XI following the defeat by Cardiff, something he had few complaints about.

All good things must come to an end.

Manchester City’s 32-game unbeaten Premier League is over after a lacklustre performance led to a 2-1 loss at in-form Bournemouth.
