Aston Villa v C Palace
Midtable rivals Villa and Palace draw 1-1 in Premier League
BIRMINGHAM, England -- — Substitute Jeffrey Schlupp scored an 81st-minute equalizer as Crystal Palace secured a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa in a match between two midtable teams in the Premier League on Sunday.
Three minutes after coming on, Schlupp finished from close range to cancel out Ollie Watkins’ 69th-minute opener for Villa.
Lucas Digne had a strike saved by Palace goalkeeper Jack Butland and Watkins hit a shot wide in stoppage time as a late Villa push to reclaim the lead proved in vain.
Patrick Vieira’s Palace and Steven Gerrard’s Villa are in 12th and 13th places, respectively, a point apart.
Gerrard and his team performed a pre-match guard of honor for players who were part of Villa’s 1982 European Cup triumph.
