Aston Villa rescued a 3-3 draw against Brentford at Villa Park, after the Bees came back from two goals down to lead in a pulsating Premier League clash.Despite their respective league positions, it was the Bees who started stronger, as Sergio Reguilón was denied inside the first minute. Bryan Mbeumo then hit a free-kick into the side netting, which seemed to wake Villa up as they started to take control. It was no surprise who scored the opener, as the returning Ollie Watkins headed in his 17th league goal from John McGinn’s cross, who also returned from suspension.It only took 32 seconds of the second half for Villa to double their lead, as Morgan Rogers scored his first goal for the club, neatly tucking Youri Tielemans’ pass into the bottom corner. However, the visitors did not drop their heads and pulled a goal back before the hour-mark, as Mathias Jorgensen’s mis-hit found its way into the net. What followed was truly remarkable, as Mbeumo equalised a minute later with a right-footed volley, before Yoane Wissa completed an astonishing turnaround by tapping home Reguilón’s cross.That was not the end of the drama though, as Watkins secured his brace against his former club by heading home again – his fourth goal in as many matches against today’s opponents. Brentford were holding on at this point, as Villa pushed for a winner late on, with Lucas Digne coming close with a spectacular scissor-kick.In the end, both teams shared the points as the Villans edged nearer to Champions League qualification for next season, while the Bees are now winless in nine, but will take some spirit in the way they earned a point, which could turn out to be a crucial one in their hopes of avoiding relegation.Palace are always inspired against City but immaculate KDB allows no room for optimismMeanwhile, West Ham United produced a stunning second half comeback, coming from a goal down to win 2-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium, giving the Hammers just their second-ever top-flight double over their opponents.Just three points separated the two sides before kick-off and both came into the game struggling for form, with the hosts having won just once in their last five and the Hammers with one victory in their last six. Both teams are still in with a shout of sneaking into an European place however, and it was the Europa League quarter finalists West Ham who first came close to opening the scoring on the quarter-hour mark. Jarrod Bowen nicked the ball off Nélson Semedo and picked out Tomáš Souček but the Czech international failed to get the ball out of his feet despite only having to tap in.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Following the early chance for the visitors, Wolves began to grow into the game, taking full control as the half went on. The dominance almost produced a goal as Rayan Aït-Nouri, arguably their player of the season, almost fashioned a chance to break the deadlock after going on amazing 50-yard run up the pitch but Kurt Zouma made a tackle just before the Moroccan was about to shoot. Aït-Nouri continued to prove dangerous and this time his run into the box produced a penalty after he was felled by Emerson Palmieri. Pablo Sarabia stepped up and smashed the spot kick in off the post to give Wolves the lead.David Moyes was clearly unhappy with his side’s first-half performance as he turned to his bench, making a double switch, introducing Benjamin Johnson and Michail Antonio. The Hammers boss was forced to make another change within 10 minutes of the restart and this time it was a big blow as top scorer Jarrod Bowen was taken off injured. Following the changes, there was a change in momentum for the away side. A penalty was awarded after Max Kilman handled in the box and Lucas Paquetá stepped up to draw his side level.It looked like both sides were going to continue their winless run but the Hammers struck late on in bizarre circumstances. James Ward-Prowse’s swinging corner went all the way in, beating José Sá – perhaps with the wind assisting the West Ham midfielder. Kilman thought that he redeemed himself late into stoppage time as he popped up at the death to head home and give Wolves a point but it was cruelly ruled out following a VAR review, giving the Hammers a first win in five league games, and condemned O’Neill’s men a third defeat in five league games.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 32SaturdayCrystal Palace – Man.City 2-4 (1-1)/Mateta 3, Edouard 86 – De Bruyne 13, 70, Lewis 47, Haaland 66/Aston Villa – Brentford 3-3 (1-0)/Watkins 39, 81, Rogers 46 – Zanka 59, Mbeumo 60, Wissa 68/Everton – Burnley 1-0 (1-0)/Calvert-Lewin 45+3/Wolverhampton – West Ham 1-2 (1-0)/Sarabia 33 pen – Paqueta 73 pen, Ward-Prowse 85/Fulham – Newcastle 0-1 (0-0)/Guimaraes 81/Luton – Bournemouth 2-1 (0-0)/Clark 73, Morris 90+1 – Tavernier 52/19:30: (5.40) Brighton (3.80) Arsenal (1.65)Sunday17:30: (4.80) Man.Utd.
