VILLA BAG FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON AS WATKINS BREAKS GOAL DROUGHT
Aston Villa got their first Premier League win of the season as they came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 at Villa Park.
Raul Jimenez had given the visitors an early lead with a well-placed header but soon went off injured as Fulham’s momentum stalled.
Ollie Watkins lobbed Bernd Leno to equalise for his first goal of the season before Villa bagged two goals in as many minutes early in the second half to take control.
John McGinn arrowed into the bottom corner from the edge of the area before Emiliano Buendia converted a deflected cross to make it 3-1.
Villa saw out the win with ease to move out of the relegation zone. while Fulham slipped to 10th, ending a three-match winning streak.
