After Manchester City, Aston Villa was the second candidate for the Champions League on the bridge this Saturday. And probably the least well placed, seventh of the Premier League and with the worst goal of the main competitors. And it all started well for the players of Unai Emery. On a corner admirably struck by McGinn, Youri Tielemans catapults an overpowered head in the cages of Bernt Leno to open the brand (1-0, 13th). A goal that will make visitors amorphous, asleep by the excellent mastery of the Boubacar Kamara balloon and his family. Upon returning from the locker room, Fulham returned with much more desire and above all application in the execution, around a very inspired Alex Iwobi.
A few minutes after an incredible failure of Ollie Watkins in front of the goal, Ryan Sessegnon thought he had put the two teams tied, but the former side of Tottenham saw his goal very justly refused for one hand. Harry Wilson also had opportunities, but lacked envy in his attempts, like this head a little too soft a quarter of an hour from the end of the game, when he was sticked. At the end of the meeting, Donyell Malen had the opportunity twice to double the bet, but lacked precision face to face with Leno. With this success, Aston Villa returns to the height of Chelsea and Newcastle on the accounting level, but remains behind in the classification, with a difference in goal significantly lower than Nottingham and Chelsea.
