Villa Misery gets deepened while Jimenez runs Fulham in front of Villa Park after only three minutes
The bad start to the season of Aston Villa took another hit because it only took three minutes in Fulham to take the lead in their Premier League match at Villa Park.
Villa, who is still looking for his first victory for the Premier League season, started trying to rely on a 1-0 victory against Bologna in the Europa League on Thursday, but their task was more difficult.
Raul Jimenez, formerly of the Rivaux of Villa Wolves, a ghost almost not marked to go in a corner at the distant post after having lost Lamare Bogarde while the ball arrived.
It was the first goal of the Mexican international league of the season after entering the side to replace Rodrigo Muniz in advance.
Unfortunately for Jimenez, he was withdrawn a few moments later after seeing his lower belly injured in the accumulation of the goal, leaving Fulham without a recognized attacker while Adama Traore replaced him.
A victory for Fulham will take them to the fifth place in the League and guarantee his fourth conscious victory in all competitions.
Villa is looking at a third defeat of the season and a defeat that will keep them in the last three.
