FULL TIME – Very good performance from Villa as we secured a comfortable win after controlling most of the game. Dunne and Collins very very good, Gabby back on form and the midfield solid

Back in the race for 4th after agent Ridgewell’s goal

80 mins – pressure from Fulham a couple of shots including a save and one wide.

76 mins – Heskey booked for dissent

73 mins – Fulham goal ruled out for offside

67 mins – still in control, less adventrous than the first half

62 mins – my internet speed is too slow to watch stream, grrrrrr

59 mins – Zamora shoots wide

56 mins – Gera sneaked in, straight at Friedel, from resulting corner hangeland heads over

solid start to the half

2nd HALF

HALF TIME – Got to say Gabby as I posted yesterday is vital to us, he offers pace and now power, scores, and we are doing very well, playing very well

44 mins, GOOOOOAAAALLL, wait 4 games and two in 5 mins, brilliant turn and finish by Gabby

42 mins, Murphy fires wide from a free kick

39 mins, well deserverd Villa GOAAALLLL, Gabby flicked header from Petrov cross

37 mins, mistake by Collins lets in Zamora and a last gas block by Cuellar stopped a certain goal

36 mins, PHEWWW, Friedel fumbles a simple shot, nearly let in Zamora

34 mins, yet another Villa chance and Petrov fired over from close in

32 mins, great move again, Young cross and Young (Luke) forced a great save

28 mins, no real chances but possession all Villa and all the half chances, with a bit of a Fulham attack

23 Mins, Gabby wins a great header to Milner who sets up young who forces a save at the near corner

Another period of good play and once again Heskey with a half chance

15 mins and Villa, well on top, playing some very good stuff, using the wings very well

Some very good play and Downing looking very dangerous, Heskey missed a half chance

Trademark Villa counter attack and Dowing cross evaded everyone a minute later

Some Fulham pressure and a shot straight at Friedel after 7 mins.

Villa after 4 minutes a good ‘long ball’ from Collins to Milner and Heskey headed over from a decent cross, should have been on target.

Same team that started against Arsenal.
