Yahoo Sports π Mateta continues to haunt Villa as Palace lead
Struggling Crystal Palace looks to set things right after the international break as they take a 1-0 lead away at Aston Villa.
Currently sitting in the bottom three coming into the weekend clash against Unai Emery's men, Palace are in desperate need of a big result under Oliver Glasner.
And who other than Jean-Philippe Mateta could help them do it, his strike putting the Eagles on the scoresheet first at Villa Park.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has now scored more goals (4) and provided more assists (3) vs. Aston Villa than any other side he has faced in the Premier League.
