Carabao Cup: Crystal Palace defeats Aston Villa 2-1 as Daichi Kamada secures victory for Eagles

Eberechi Eze opened the scoring with an early header, but Jhon Duran leveled the game with a well-taken goal. However, a mistake from Diego Carlos allowed substitute Daichi Kamada to score the winning goal, ultimately proving Oliver Glasner's decision to field a strong Palace starting line-up was the right one.

It came at some cost with Eze and Adam Wharton both trudging off the field in the first half having suffered injuries, but the victory builds on their weekend win over Tottenham ahead of what is a significant showdown against Wolves on Saturday Night Football.
