Four Things We Learned From Villa Vs Fulham

Aston Villa followed up their first away win in 14 months with their first back-to-back wins in 17 months.

Villa defeated Fulham 1-0 courtesy of Jonathan Kodjia’s stunning volley in the 80th minute; his third goal in as many matches. This win moves Villa up to 16th in the table with 17 points; only 6 points behind a play-off place.

This was a game which Villa, despite the fact that Fulham had 66% of the possession, deserved to win. For all their possession, Fulham created little and did not have a single shot on target the whole match. Villa, on the other hand, made what little possession they had count; over the course of the 90 minutes, they had 9 shots off target and 7 shots on target. If it weren’t for some fine saves by Fulham’s keeper, Villa would have won a lot more comfortably.
