Fulham Stumble as Aston Villa Run Riot

Fulham's hopes of a strong start to the season were dashed on Saturday as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against a rampant Aston Villa at Craven Cottage. It was a tough day at the office for the Cottagers, who simply couldn't match the intensity and quality of their visitors.

Right from the get-go, Aston Villa looked the sharper team. They pressed high, moved the ball quickly, and created chance after chance. It was no surprise when they took the lead in the 15th minute through a well-taken goal by Ollie Watkins.

The first half was a real struggle for Fulham, who couldn't get into the game at all. They were disjointed, lacked creativity, and struggled to keep possession. To make matters worse, Villa doubled their lead just before half-time through a deflected shot from Douglas Luiz.

Things didn't get any better for Fulham in the second half. Villa continued to dominate, and they eventually put the game to bed with a third goal in the 65th minute, again through Ollie Watkins.

Fulham managed to pull one back late on through a penalty from Carlos Vinicius, but it was far too little, too late. The final scoreline of 3-1 reflected the dominance of Aston Villa, who deservedly took all three points.

This loss will be a bitter pill to swallow for Fulham, who will need to learn from their mistakes quickly. Their next match is away to Manchester United, and if they want to avoid another defeat, they'll need to show a lot more fight and determination.

It's still early days in the season, but Fulham will need to find their feet soon if they want to be competitive. They have a tough run of fixtures coming up, so they need to get their act together, fast!
