Watkins scores as Aston Villa bounces back to secure victory at Fulham Aston Villa has made a remarkable start to the Premier League season, achieving their best points tally from the first eight games since the 20th century. While they finished sixth that season, they didn't manage to pull off a stunning victory against a team like Bayern Munich. The question now is: how far can the Unai Emery era take them? Currently, there are no signs of a slowdown, as Villa continues to keep pace with the league's top teams while also enjoying success in European competitions. Since their loss to Arsenal in late August, Emery's squad has gone on an impressive nine-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Their latest triumph came against Fulham, a team that had been enjoying a strong start to the season and had fans dreaming of potential European football next year. This victory not only highlights Villa's resilience but also serves as a reminder of their growing ambitions under Emery's management.
