Aston Villa’s FA Cup campaign ended at the first hurdle, with Championship side Fulham running out 2-1 winners at Craven Cottage.
Dean Smith’s side fell behind twice to the Whites, but were unable to get a leveller against Scott Parker’s team.
Anthony Knockaert put Fulham in front, before Anwar El Ghazi levelled it for Villa.

Read Aston Villa’s verdict
This wasn’t that important a loss for Villa, especially with their cup semi-final in the week against Leicester City.
The League is the priority, so I don’t think many will look back on this game that much.
