Unai Emery was not a happy man in Villa's win over Fulham - but Tielemans escaped his anger after running the show. Again.

Youri Tielemans’ 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 will see them back among Europe’s elite next term.

Midfielder Youri Tielemans was Villa's driving force against Fulham, pulling the strings in midfield after giving them an early lead with a powerful header from John McGinn's corner.
