Villa comeback to win in action-packed game at Fulham
Aston Villa came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 in a highly entertaining Premier League clash at Craven Cottage on Saturday in which the home side missed a penalty and both teams had a man sent off.
Fulham were in front after five minutes through Raul Jimenez but Villa were level four minutes later after a shot from Morgan Rogers took a wicked deflection. Andreas Pereira then had his spot kick saved and the sides went in level at the break.

Ollie Watkins' header put Villa ahead just before the hour mark and things went from bad to worse for Fulham as first, Joachim Andersen was sent off and then Issa Diop bundled the ball into his own net.
