Watkins' Goal Sends Villa Flying Past Fulham

It was a day of glory for Aston Villa as they secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Fulham at Craven Cottage. The game was a tight affair, but it was Ollie Watkins who emerged as the hero, scoring the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.

The first half was a real snoozefest, with both teams struggling to create any clear-cut chances. Fulham started off strong, but Villa slowly grew into the game, dominating possession but lacking that final cutting edge.

The second half saw a much more open and exciting game. The tension was palpable, and both teams were clearly desperate for the win. Then, out of nowhere, Watkins popped up with a clinical finish to break the deadlock. It was a classic poacher's goal, with the striker reacting quickest to a deflected cross to slot the ball past a helpless Bernd Leno.

Watkins' goal was all Villa needed to secure the three points. The rest of the game was a tense battle, with Fulham throwing everything at Villa in search of an equaliser. But Villa held on strong, frustrating their opponents and securing a vital win.

This victory is a huge boost for Villa, who are looking to solidify their place in the top half of the table. It was a classic performance, with grit, determination, and a touch of brilliance from Watkins. It's not always pretty, but sometimes, a win is all that matters.
