'The mood is buzzing' - Palace thrash Villa as Wharton shines

"The mood is buzzing, the music is bouncing and everyone is happy."

Those were the words of Crystal Palace striker Eddie Nketiah after he scored his first Premier League goal for the club in the 4-1 win over Aston Villa at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.

Palace have turned a corner after a slow start to the season, winning just one of their first 10 league games, and are now on a run of just three losses in 15 matches.

They sit 12th in the Premier League table, but are just eight points off Manchester City in fifth, having played a game more.
