"Aston Villa's poor start to the season took another blow as it took Fulham just three minutes to take the lead in their Premier League game at Villa Park. Villa, who are still searching for their first win of the Premier League season, kicked off looking to build on a 1-0 victory over Bologna in the Europa League on Thursday but their task was made harder almost immediately."
"It was the Mexico international's first league goal of the season after coming into the side to replace Rodrigo Muniz up front. Unfortunately for Jimenez, he was taken off moments later after appearing to injure his lower midriff in the build-up to the goal, leaving Fulham without a recognised striker as Adama Traore replaced him. A win for Fulham will take them up to fifth place in the league and secure their fourth conscutive win in all competitions."
Fulham took the lead at Villa Park after three minutes when Raul Jimenez headed in a corner at the far post. Jimenez ghosted in almost unmarked after Lamare Bogarde lost his marker as the ball came in. The goal was Jimenez's first league strike of the season after he came into the side to replace Rodrigo Muniz. Jimenez was substituted moments later after appearing to injure his lower midriff in the build-up, leaving Fulham without a recognised striker as Adama Traore replaced him. A win would move Fulham to fifth place and secure a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions. Villa remain without a Premier League win and face a third defeat that would keep them in the bottom three.
