Aston Villa's concerning away form continued with a 1-0 Premier League defeat at Fulham's Craven Cottage. Ryan Sessegnon scored the decisive first-half goal. Villa dominated possession but managed only one shot on target, struggling to convert chances.
Despite the loss, fourth-placed Villa remains on track for Champions League qualification, holding an eight-point lead over sixth-placed Brighton. However, their recent away record shows one win in their last eight league games.
Fulham's victory moves them within two points of sixth place, potentially securing European competition. "We hope we can achieve Europe, three more points takes us closer to the target," said Ryan Sessegnon. "It would mean everything. My boyhood club, to be back in Europe after so many years would be a dream."
