Aston Villa's Conor Hourihane scores their second goal in the Premier League win over Fulham at Craven Cottage, LondonIreland midfielder Conor Hourihane helped Aston Villa to a comfortable Premier League victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage this evening. The Corkman struck in the 15th minute to double Villa's lead after Jack Grealish opened the visitors' account after only four minutes. Hourihane had a hand in Villa's thord as Tyrone Mings made sure of the points in the 48th minute. The result left Villa, who narrowly avoided relegation from the top flight last season, fourth on a maximum six points from two games while promoted Fulham are bottom with no points after a third successive defeat. Villa will be pleased with their clinical finishing but it was more shambolic defending from Fulham, who have conceded 10 goals in their opening three matches, which made the visitors' job easier at Craven Cottage.
