Two goals in two second-half minutes propelled Aston Villa to their first Premier League win of the season as they overcame Fulham 3-1 at Villa Park on Sunday. Emiliano Buendia scored and set one up within six minutes of being introduced by Unai Emery at half-time, with Villa having gone behind inside the opening 10 minutes. And they found themselves behind early on when Raul Jimenez got himself across three Villa defenders to brilliantly head Sasa Lukic’s corner into the bottom-right corner. But Ollie Watkins’ first Premier League goal of the campaign restored parity eight minutes before half-time, with the hosts then seeking the initiative after the restart. Buendia scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for only the second time, previously doing so for Villa against Burnley in May 2022, while Watkins ended a run of 700 minutes without scoring in the top flight.
