Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace - 6 Things We Learned

4. Will Palace Ever Score Again?

It is now four and a bit games since Lee Chung-yong's screamer against Stoke when Palace last scored and, with Manchester City and Spurs up next, it's looking like that wait for a goal will go on a bit longer. This was another game that, barring two opportunities, Palace looked insipid in front of goal. Zaha's chance was great and an early goal against a team struggling as much as Villa would have surely changed the complexion of the game but Palace seemed to go into their shell from that moment while Villa grew into the game and started to dominate.
