Aston Villa 1 [Ramsey 8] West Ham 1 [Emerson 70]
Aston Villa endured another Champions League hangover after they drew 1-1 with West Ham.
Jacob Ramsey’s early opener at Villa Park was cancelled out by Emerson Palmieri’s second-half header to leave Villa without a Premier League win after each of their last six European games.
This was a big chance missed to close the gap on the top four while more worrying was the sight of Tyrone Mings leaving the pitch in tears after suffering a first-half knee injury.
It was just his 10th appearance back after missing 445 days with an ACL but he did emerge after the break to watch from the dugout, donning a smile and giving the crowd a thumbs up.

Villa had chances to kill the game in an early blitz of chances but Mings’s withdrawal changed the dynamic and in the end West Ham may consider themselves unlucky not to earn a first away win under Graham Potter.
Crystal Palace 1 [ Esse 85] Brentford 2 [Mbuemo 66 pen, Schade 80]
Bryan Mbeumo’s retaken penalty helped lift Brentford to a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in soggy conditions at Selhurst Park.
He clipped the post with an initial attempt but was given another chance after VAR determined Eagles captain Marc Guehi had encroached.
Mbeumo was on target with his second attempt, breaking the deadlock in the 66th minute, before Kevin Schade nodded in a second 10 minutes from time.
Although Premier League debutant Romain Esse scored with his first touch in the 85th minute, moments after his introduction, the visitors held on.
