Villa bow out of Carabao Cup

Aston Villa exited the Carabao Cup at the hands of Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening, with a 2-1 defeat at Villa Park. 

Eberechi Eze gave Palace the lead early on, before Villa responded with Jhon Durán’s eighth goal of the season, to send the two sides in at the break level. 

But the South London outfit rallied in the second period, snatching a winner just after the hour mark through substitute Daichi Kamada, to send Villa out of the competition at the fourth round stage.
