Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Craven Cottage. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks surprising Fulham FC does not make any changes. Ollie Watkins has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Fulham FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Emiliano Buendia, as he is very good at scoring at Craven Cottage with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' Aston Villa FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Aston Villa FC winning 50% of all matches.
  • 35' Timothy Castagne has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 43' Ryan Sessegnon puts Fulham FC on the lead.
  • 46' A meaty challenge results in booking for Timothy Castagne on 46.
  • 49' Aston Villa FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 54' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sasa Lukic made 428 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' Fulham FC is showing some good football. However, Fulham FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 64' The travelling Aston Villa FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 66' Rodrigo Muniz has so much to prove this time. He replaces Raul Jimenez on 66 minute.
  • 71' Aston Villa FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 74' The whistle greets Emiliano Buendia as he departs to be replaced by Leon Bailey.
  • 76' Another change for Fulham FC made on 76 minute. Emile Smith Rowe leaves to be changed by Joshua King.
  • 81' The whistle greets Ryan Sessegnon as he departs to be replaced by Antonee Robinson.
  • 86' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Harry Wilson.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Fulham FC players.
