Fulham vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Fulham kick off, and we are back under way at Craven Cottage!

Such was their ascendancy after they avoided going 2-1 down via Pereira's penalty, Villa had some 67% possession over the final 15 minutes of that first half. By contrast, Fulham retreated into their shell, so Marco Silva will be determined to shake things up at half-time, perhaps making some tactical tweaks to stop Ramsey and Rogers linking up freely with Watkins.

The scoreline is level after an eventful first half at Craven Cottage, as Fulham failed to retain their early lead against Aston Villa before missing a penalty. Jimenez slotted home a composed finish from a direct throughball to put the hosts in front, before Rogers struck back via a heavily deflected effort less than five minutes later. Then, Cash's handball conceded a penalty - only awarded after a VAR review - that Pereira missed, with Martinez making a straightforward save. That moment marked a distinct turn in the match, as Villa went on to dominate proceedings thereafter, and Rogers should really have put them in front; yet, it remains 1-1, with all to play for after the interval.

HALF-TIME: FULHAM 1-1 ASTON VILLA

Robinson stands up an inviting cross from the left, which is met by Traore, who rises highest in Villa's six-yard box. His cushioned header finds Jimenez, but the Fulham striker's return effort loops harmlessly onto the top of the net. That's surely the last act of this first half.

Bailey is caught by an outstretched leg by Berge, bringing him down to the turf. After a brief moment of concern for Emery, his injury-prone winger is soon back in action and the game resumes.

There will be a minimum of four minutes added onto the end of this eventful first half, as Villa's hunt for another goal continues. Fulham will simply be hoping to run down the clock and recalibrate during the break.

MISS! Ramsey surges down the left and gets close to the byline, then cuts a dangerous ball back along the box. It falls perfectly for Rogers, but Villa's in-form forward puts his first-time effort wide of the right-hand post from close range! What a chance to edge the visitors in front!

Fulham survive three consecutive corners, but they are hemmed into their own penalty area at the moment, merely hanging on for the half-time whistle.

Rogers and Ramsey combine in the final third again, and the latter's low cross towards Watkins is well cut out by Andersen, at the cost of a corner. Villa are pushing forward in pursuit of their second goal.
