This was a narky, gnarly narrow victory but Aston Villa will not mind. After missing out on a Champions League semi-final and an FA Cup final over the previous two matches, Unai Emery’s team enhanced their chances of the top-five finish in the Premier League that would return them to Europe’s elite competition after Youri Tielemans’ first-half header dented Fulham’s own bid for continental competition.Villa have now equalled their 17-match record unbeaten home run in the Premier League, set during Emery’s first season here two years ago, and are level on points with Nottingham Forest, who visit Crystal Palace on Monday, and Chelsea, at home to Liverpool on Sunday, on 60 points.

3 d. ago Wissa clinches win for Brentford to dent Nottingham Forest’s European hopes

This week Nottingham Forest readied themselves for the Champions League, Evangelos Marinakis relinquishing his controlling interest in the club to comply with Uefa’s ownership rules. Marinakis’s other club, Greek champions Olympiakos, have already qualified for the grandest stage in the club game but Forest’s bid to return to European competition will probably go to the wire. Will Forest, who remain sixth, look back on defeat at home to Brentford as a costly misstep when their season ends here against Chelsea, one of those teams vying for a top-five berth?Forest, who face Crystal Palace, Leicester and West Ham before that potential final-day showdown, never really got going on a disappointing evening. Goals from Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa, a January target for Forest, condemned the hosts to successive league home defeats for the first time since the end of last season. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have now lost four of their past five matches in all competitions, including Sunday’s ...

He claims he once had job offers from Arsenal, before Mikel Arteta was appointed, Crystal Palace and Wolves’ arch-rivals West Brom, too.This is his first visit to this watering hole but the perfect setting given Pereira’s “first the points, then the pints” mantra that has led to him celebrating wins by mingling with supporters in the local Wetherspoons and a fans’ group to launch a lager and IPA deco...
