Plenty of Aston Villa fans showered Marvelous Nakamba with praise during Saturday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Villa were looking to make it back-to-back wins under new manager Steven Gerrard after beating Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0 last time out.

The 41-year-old made two changes from his first game in charge as Danny Ings and Emiliano Buendia dropped to the substitutes' bench, with Leon Bailey and Ashley Young replacing them. Nakamba duly kept his place in midfield alongside John McGinn and Jacob Ramsey.

The 27-year-old picked up a SofaScore rating of 7.0/10 for his performance at Selhurst Park. He completed 32 of his 37 attempted passes and made three tackles and two clearances, along with winning four duels against the Eagles.

Here's what these Villa fans made of the Zimbabwe international's "amazing" display in south London.
