As the host, Aston Villa was truly humiliated by Crystal Palace. Of course, this means Aston Villa must learn from the experience. Unai Emery must work really hard, and Aston Villa's defense must be further improved. Now Aston Villa is ranked 19th, so I hope Aston Villa can improve their performance.
I didn't make a cash bet on this game but I believed the bookmakers in their predictions and indicated that Aston Villa would win. It's hard to believe that the fairy tale for Crystal Palace would continue for so long and it was even more difficult to assume that the victory would be so confident. Frankly speaking, the table's basement looks anomalous at the moment - Newcastle, Fulham, Aston Villa and Wolves are up for relegation. I would say that we are used to seeing these teams much higher.
I have been watching them closely since last season, Crystal Palace had changed and now the are back to fight for the top, I was not opportune to watch this game but the moment I saw the result, I wasn't surprised because I knew how Crystal Palace played last season. I was really disappointed with Aston Villa for allow themselves to be humiliated because how can they be so low to the extent that they conceded three when they are the one hosting the game. The season is just starting but honestly Unai Emery really have to do a lot of work because starting with this kind of performance at this stage of the season it actually not favourable, despite this is still the beginning.
