As a Palace fan, I feel that Villa are our European allies. I mean every time we play them, they just hand us the win and then they're going to knock Forest out of Europe, so well done Villa.

Andy Townsend
Former Aston Villa midfielder on TNT SportsShaqiri again. When he gets on the ball he just takes a little breather and has a look.
It was offside but that's good goalkeeping. A lot more decisive.

Celtic trail 2-0 at home to Roma in the Europa League with two Republic of Ireland team-mates on the scoresheet. Liam Scales scored an own goal before Evan Ferguson struck for Roma.

Basel 1-1 Aston Villa
Great goalkeeping from Marco Bizot who is really quick off his line to cut out a through ball. Then Shaqiri crosses for Benie Traore and Bizot spreads himself to block the striker from a few yards out. Top stuff.
The offside flag goes up.

Basel are dominating now. Benie Traore lines up an overhead kick but Victor Lindelof heads the ball away before it reaches Traore's boot.

Nketiah showing why Palace paid £30-odd million for him. He is a good finisher, and is always aware of where the goal is. Great to see that we can maintain high standards up front even when Mateta is unavailable.

'Far too easy'published at 20:39 GMT 11 December 2025
Shelbourne 0-3 Crystal Palace
Don Hutchison
Ex-Scotland midfielder on TNT SportsThat is a great goal. From a Shelbourne point of view, someone has to make the tackle on Yeremy Pino. Lovely skill, he has got the ball in a little pocket and that was far too easy.

Shelbourne 0-3 Crystal Palace
I said a few minutes ago Palace would hope to score four or five. I think Shelbourne would take that right now.
GOAL - Shelbourne 0-3 Crystal Palacepublished at 20:38 GMT 11 December 2025
Yeremy Pino (37 mins)
The gulf in class is as big as you'd expect here.
The Shelbourne defence seems to open up for Yeremy Pino to run through and lash in a shot.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:37 GMT 11 December 2025
Basel 1-1 Aston Villa
Frustration on the faces of the Villa players. Emi Buendia is booked for a late challenge.
'Half-hearted from the goalkeeper'published at 20:37 GMT 11 December 2025

Andy Townsend
Former Aston Villa midfielder on TNT SportsIt was a really unnecessary free-kick. What Shaqiri can do is deliver a ball.
It is a clever flick but the goalkeeper is a bit half-hearted coming for that one.
Daniliuc has got that flick on that.
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:37 GMT 11 December 2025
Shelbourne 0-2 Crystal Palace
Chris Richards heads off the crossbar and Eddie Nketiah nods the rebound wide from close range.
Palace will fancy their chances of scoring four or five goals here.
GOAL - Basel 1-1 Aston Villapublished at 20:35 GMT 11 December 2025
Flavius Daniliuc
Xherdan Shaqiri's free-kick finds Flavius Daniliuc in the box who beats Villa keeper Marco Bizot to the ball and dinks it over the stopper into the net.
This one will count!
