Aston Villa 3-0 Crystal Palace: Dean Smith's side up to sixth despite playing half of the match with TEN MEN with goals coming from Bertrand Traore, Kourtney Hause and Anwar El Ghazi

Aston Villa moved up to sixth in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, despite playing half of the match with ten men.

Bertrand Traore scored early on to set Dean Smith's side on their way but were given a blow as Tyrone Mings was sent off for two yellows cards just before half-time.

That setback appeared to spur Villa on as Kourtney Hause and Anwar El Ghazi netted in the second-half to inflict more woe on Roy Hodgson's Eagles after their 7-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend.
