Aston Villa 0-1 Fulham

​Tom Cairney! 

24: Ryan Sessegnon drifts in-field and plays a tremendous through pass between Alan Hutton and James Chester to Tom Cairney. Hutton is ball watching and the Fulham captain scores with a precise low finish.

29: Ryan Fredericks is very luck to stay on the pitch. After putting Jack Grealish on the deck, he appears to stand on him. I'm not sure how accidental that is.

31: Ryan Sessegnon almost makes it two! A cross from the right is headed on by John Terry at the front post and Sessegnon meets the ball at the back post but heads into Sam Johnstone's arms.

34: Alan Hutton is too slow for Kamara who nips away from him then draws a foul on the right wing. 

Stefan Johansen's delivery is cleared at the front post.

37: Fulham have been exceptional. They have Aston Villa exactly where they would want them, and Steve Bruce's so-called experienced side have no answer. Fulham's play is moving Villa players into areas they don't want to be in and the side in white are exploiting so much space.
