Villa leave it late but beat a lively Palace side who were definitely "up for the cup". Harry Burrows, back to fitness, was again Villa's saviour.
Joe Mercer’s Villa narrowly beat third division Palace in a seven goal thriller at Villa Park to progress to the third round of the FA Cup in difficult form.
