LONDON (Reuters) -Crystal Palace struck twice in the second half through forward Wilfried Zaha and left back Tyrick Mitchell to secure a 3-2 win over Aston Villa in an entertaining mid-table Premier League match at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Defender Mitchell bundled home his first Palace goal in the 84th minute from Eberechi Eze's mis-hit shot to make it 3-2 after Zaha charged towards the Villa box and blasted an effort which flew in off Ahmed El Mohamady with 15 minutes left.
