Good evening from Craven Cottage where it finished full and one, Aston Villa three,
00:08
another win on the road for Unai Emery's team, their third of the season taking ten points from
00:14
four Premier League away matches, the first time they've gone unbeaten for the first four away
00:19
league games of the season since 2006. 17 points in the first eight league games in total is their
00:26
best return since 1998 and after the international break and the start of another busy run with three
00:32
matches in in 21 days this was Villa's best performance of the season, their best result
00:37
of the season considering the opposition, Fulham were just a point behind them in the table at the
00:42
start of the day but after a shaky start which saw Villa go one nil down inside five minutes,
00:48
former wall striker Raul Jimenez scoring for the hosts, Villa were the better team,
00:55
Morgan Rodgers equalising via a deflected effort quickly, key moment of the game came in the 26th
01:01
minute Fulham were awarded a penalty at the time when Villa were probably on top,
01:05
Andres Pereira tried to out psych Emi Martinez and ended up getting out psyched himself, weak
01:13
penalty, Martinez saves, diving to his left and then you know Villa were on top from that point,
01:20
always looked the more likely goal scorers and they eventually scored in the 60th minute,
01:24
Olly Watkins with a superb header, his fifth goal of the season, fantastic powerheader past
01:30
Bernd Leno who had earlier denied Watkins, saved from Jacob Ramsey and also prevented
01:36
Joachim Andersen from scoring an own goal, Andersen then sent off four minutes after
01:41
Watkins had put Villa 2-1 up, after hauling down Watkins when he was through on goal and
01:47
then the game put beyond doubt when Issa Diok put through his own net with 21 minutes to go,
01:54
only save point on the day for Villa was a stoppage time sent off for Jadon Philhazine for a
01:58
second bookable offence, looked pretty soft but you know in the grand scheme of things
02:05
you know only a minor disappointment in what was a pretty you know impressive performance from
02:10
Villa against a good team back into the Premier League top four and a real confidence boost
02:14
heading into another busy run of fixtures.
