"Then we were being aggressive, trying to get into the box. The result was through our energy and through our wishes to come back," he added.

For the home team, the results mean 16th place in the table. Fulham are 10th in the league.

The next Premier League games for Aston Villa are Burnley (home) on 5 October, Tottenham Hotspur (away) on 19 October and Manchester City (home) on 26 October. Fulham play AFC Bournemouth (away) on 3 October, Arsenal (home) on 18 October and Newcastle United (away) on 25 October.

Fulham stunned Aston Villa when Raúl Jiménez netted in the third minute, with an assist from Saša Lukić.

After enduring a five-game drought, Aston Villa has finally secured a much-needed victory in the Premier League, defeating Fulham 3-1 and reigniting their season.

Aston Villa equalised to make it 1-1, as Ollie Watkins found the net, with an assist by Lucas Digne, in the 37th minute.

Straight after the break, John McGinn  found the net and gave the team the lead.

"Happy. Overall, we kept the consistency we achieved on Thursday in Europa League. We started a little bit under our necessary energy on the field. We conceded one goal and then it was a difficult moment but we reacted, more than tactically," Aston Villa boss Unai Emery said speaking to Sky Sports.

Just two minutes later later, Emiliano Buendía increased the lead for Aston Villa, with an assist by Morgan Rogers, to complete Aston Villa's come back.
