John McGinn said Aston Villa "have turned a little corner" after they came from behind to beat Fulham 3-1 at home for their first win of the English Premier League season on Sept 28, with Ollie Watkins ending his barren spell in front of goal.

Champions League quarter-finalists last season, Villa began the day in the relegation zone after taking just three points from their opening five league games.
Said Villa skipper McGinn: "Delighted but relieved at the same time. It has been a very poor start to the season. To lose here 3-0 in the last home game (against Crystal Palace) was tough to take...
"It is not an easy place to play when the crowds are on your back but then when you get momentum, what a place it is to play... We are not getting carried away. We have turned a little corner the last few games but that doesn't mean anything. It's about recovering now and then back here next Sunday to try and pick up another win."
