Premier League - Fulham 3-0 Aston Villa: Villa's defeat at Fulham means Gerrard's end
2022-10-21 11:37Aston Villa 's 3-0 win over Fulham as manager ended Steven Gerrard 's reign as manager on Thursday as the former England captain was less than two minutes after the final whistle. Fired within hours .
Gerrard leaves the Midland club in 17th place, level with Wolves in 18th place, but ahead of their Midland rivals in goals.
Harrison Reid pushed the hosts home after Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez hit a corner in the midfielder's path. Andreas Pereira came close twice and Fulham dominated the first half as Alexander Mitrovic's far post header was cleared by Tyrone Mings.
The away team's misery ended when Mings turned Neskens Kebano 's low pass into his own net - a goal that was chanted by some away fans "Steven Gerrard, Get out of our club".
Hungry Fulham back to winning ways
Silva's performance was frustrating after Fulham's 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday , but his only qualms about the copycat's first-half performance was that it should have produced more than Reid's brilliant opener more income.
Former Chelsea and Arsenal winger Willian, who returned to Fulham after returning from injury against Bournemouth, was particularly active in the opening stages as the hosts handed the game over to their opponents.
The hosts brightened the score with Mitrovic's penalty and Mings' late own-goal, ending a three-game winning streak in the league without a win .
