Aston Villa beat Crystal Palace 1-0 to win a Premier League match for the first time since August while a late goal from Paul Dummett earned a 3-3 draw for Newcastle United against Manchester United Tuesday. Joleon Lescott's second-half header, fumbled in by keeper Wayne Hennessey, handed Villa manager Remi Garde a first victory in charge, the bottom club's first in the league at home this season, and ended a run of 19 games without a win. Wayne Rooney's 79th-minute strike, his second goal of the game, put United 3-2 up at Newcastle but Dummett struck in the last minute for the relegation-threatened host who had battled back from 2-0 down. West Ham United moved above Manchester United into fifth place after coming from a goal down to win 3-1 at Bournemouth, Enner Valencia netting twice for the London side. Villa, still eight points from safety, was gifted victory when Hennessey allowed defender Lescott's 58th-minute effort to squirm through his hands. The home team had appeared to be in for another 90 minutes of struggle when Palace's Wilfried Zaha struck Villa's post inside the opening minute but Garde's men held firm. The Villa players, abused by their fans after drawing with fourth-tier Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup at the weekend, this time received a standing ovation as they left the pitch. Newcastle remains in the relegation zone, one point behind 17th-placed Swansea City. It trailed 2-0 after Rooney converted a ninth-minute penalty and laid on the second for Jesse Lingard following a swift counter attack. Aleksandar Mitrovic nodded down for Georginio Wijnaldum to pull a goal back just before halftime. Serb Mitrovic then leveled from the spot after 67 minutes when Chris Smalling was penalized for pushing. Rooney's neat finish put United back in front but Dummett lashed the ball in from the edge of the box to earn his side a point. Dimitri Payet kickstarted West Ham's comeback at Bournemouth after it had trailed to a fine first-half strike from Harry Arter. West Ham lost striker Andy Carroll to injury early on but Payet leveled midway through the second half with a sublime free kick. The French midfielder then set up Valencia to make it 2-1 in the 75th minute and the Ecuadorean striker thumped in a free kick to seal victory nine minutes later. Bordeaux beats Lorient Bordeaux reached the French League Cup semifinals by scoring in each half to beat Lorient 2-0 Tuesday. Midfielder Jaroslav Plasil struck just before halftime with a deflected drive from the edge of the penalty area. The home side got its second goal soon after when Lorient defender Pape Abdou Paye failed to clear a corner and goalkeeper Florent Chaigneau pushed the ball into his own net trying to save it. Bordeaux goalie Cedric Carrasso made some fine saves, denying striker Benjamin Jeannot with his legs as Lorient poured forward. Bordeaux has won the League Cup three times, the last time in 2009.
