Aston Villa were knocked out in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup by Crystal Palace in a disappointing night at Villa Park.

Unai Emery made 10 changes to the side that drew with Bournemouth at the weekend, with John McGinn the only player to keep his place, and it was a disjointed performance as a result of that.

The hosts dominated proceedings with 62% possession and had nine shots on target but didn't particularly trouble Palace.

Leon Bailey tested Palace goalkeeper Matt Turner at his near post and Jhon Duran had a strike well saved after it looked to be heading into the top corner.

On a more positive note, centre-back Tyrone Mings made his first start for Villa in 445 days since he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury against Newcastle United on the opening day of last season and ended the game with the captain's armband after McGinn was substituted.
