To be fair, it should be noted that the meeting was by no means a monologue of the Aston Villa. In fact, the Fulham he dominated in terms of ball possession and it could even be said that he made merits to, at least, have led to a more balanced score. But when the ball lurked in his area, it did threaten to reach or directly reaching the net.
Not four minutes had to wait for the latter to happen for the first time. McGinn detected the uncheck between lines of Grealish and he went into the kitchen to get over Areola first. 0-1 at the first change. Enough to wake up Fulham? Not at all. In the 15th minute, his defense broke down again, and this time ‘Mr. Carisma’ Grealish He did not score, but he did star on the left side in the play that ended with the ball at the feet of Hourihane, which from within the area found the network.
With that 0-2 the rest was reached, and far from it giving the Fulham concentration or the necessary impetus to come back, what happened was that in 48 'his defense was again portrayed. Side foul hung from the left by Hourihane Y Tyrone
Mings, completely brand-free, shot Areola being just five meters from goal. Unworthy of the Premier League.
With the comments, there was enough to determine that this Fulham has a lot to improve. He's on time, because the championship is long, but at the moment it looks very bad. He Aston Villa, for his part, he has won the two games he has played in this Premier and still maintains a clean sheet. Of course those of Dean smith They don't want to go through as much trouble to save themselves as they experienced a few months ago.
