Aston Villa Draw with Fulham

Aston Villa drew 1-1 with Fulham at home in the Premier League. Nicolas Jackson scored his eighth goal in his last 10 matches, but a mistake by goalkeeper Zion Suzuki cost the home side all three points.

Villa were awarded a penalty in the 15th minute. Sander Berge touched the ball with his hand while jumping alongside Leon Goretzka during a corner, and after a video review the penalty was given. With Emi Buendia and Ross Barkley absent from the squad, John McGinn took the kick. However, the Scot's shot hit the post and went out over the crossbar.

Fulham's quick counterattack almost produced a goal through Oscar Bobb, but Suzuki made a superb one-handed save to keep the ball out. Villa took the lead with Jackson after Johan Manzambi's pass, which followed a mistake by Timothy Castagne. Jackson got past David Affengruber, slipped away from Castagne as well, and sent the ball past Bernd Leno into the net.

In the second half, Leno saved Victor Lindelof's shot with a reflex save. However, the home side's goal came from Fulham's corner. Suzuki let Alex Iwobi's corner slip through his hands, and the ball crossed the line. In the closing minutes, Suzuki saved Antonee Robinson's shot. Pau Torres's header went wide, and the two teams shared the points.
