# Fans laud Jack Grealish’s latest masterclass as Palace swatted aside

Aston Villa enjoyed a [3-0 win over Crystal Palace](https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2020/december/Aston-Villa-3-0-Crystal-Palace/) on Boxing Day and [Jack Grealish](https://readastonvilla.com/2020/12/21/fans-hail-unplayable-jack-grealish-west-brom/) was lauded by many supporters on social media for his “Rolls Royce performance” at Villa Park.

The 25-year-old created more chances and won more free kicks than any player on the pitch and had the second-most successful dribbles of any Villa player. Grealish ran the show in midfield and gave Luka Milivojevic and James McArthur a torrid time. The pair committed six fouls between them and were both hooked in the second half. \[[WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1485459/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2020-2021-Aston-Villa-Crystal-Palace)\]

Against Palace, Grealish had 57 touches, won three aerial duels, completed 79.4% of his 34 passes, created six chances, had two shots, won three tackles, won five free kicks and had two successful dribbles. \[[WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1485459/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2020-2021-Aston-Villa-Crystal-Palace)\]

The 25-year-old has made 14 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring six goals and supplying eight assists ([14 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-grealish/leistungsdaten/spieler/203460)). In 13 Premier League games, he has created 49 chances and made 39 successful dribbles ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/113069/Show/Jack-Grealish)). Grealish has been outstanding in 2020/21 and showed his class on Saturday without adding to his tally.

Unsurprisingly, many Villa fans again took to Twitter to purr over the midfielder’s latest masterclass:
