Tielemans rises above the fray to maintain Villa hopes
The Independent
|May 04, 2025
Youri Tielemans’s first-half goal saw Aston Villa boost their chances of a Champions League return with a crunch 1-0 victory over Fulham.
Villa, who made the quarter-finals of this season’s competition, are still in the hunt to finish in the Premier League top five, which would see them back among Europe’s elite next term.
The Belgian midfielder’s 12th-minute header was enough for them to earn a vital three points and extend their unbeaten run at Villa Park to 20 games in all competitions, ensuring they bounced back from last week’s no-show in the FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace.
Unai Emery’s side drew level with Nottingham Forest and Chelsea on 60 points and will now sit back and hope their rivals falter over the weekend as the top-five race heads for a climax in the coming weeks.
