Aston Villa rediscovered their winning form in the Premier League with a dominant 3-1 victory over 10-man Fulham.

Raul Jimenez’s fifth-minute fifth goal of the season had put Fulham ahead against a Villa side who had drawn their last two domestic matches.

But Morgan Rogers equalised soon after in the ninth and, after Andreas Pereira scuffed a penalty for Fulham, Ollie Watkins put Villa ahead before they took advantage of Joachim Andersen’s red card to wrap the game up through an Issa Diop own goal.

SAVE! Leno is alert again, tipping a firm low strike by Ramsey wide of his goal! The Fulham goalkeeper is keeping his side level at the moment, but they'll have to face yet another corner.

SAVE! Following fine work in midfield by Pau Torres, the ball runs nicely for Watkins in Fulham's area. He turns to strike, but Andersen intervenes again. However, the defender's toe-poke sends the ball towards his own goal, requiring Leno to dive across and make a smart stop! Good goalkeeping!

While attempting to block off his opponent, Cash is caught by Jimenez and takes a knock to the head. After a brief pause in play, the action resumes, with Villa's right-back jogging back into his place.

After Robinson's precise throughball sends Jimenez away down the left flank, the latter earns Fulham's third corner of the match. Bailey delays and almost allows Tete to steal the ball following the set-piece, but Villa eventually clear their lines.

When Rogers again tries to link up with Ramsey deep in Fulham's area, the hosts' defensive rock Andersen extends a leg and clears any immediate danger. The Danish centre-back has handled the challenge of Villa's quick-thinking forwards quite well so far.

Fulham have lost five of their last six league meetings with Aston Villa, who did the double over the Cottagers last season. If they are to avoid a similar fate today, they'll have to improve on the latter part of the first half.
