Relegation zoners Fulham pulled out a win against Aston Villa at Craven Cottage today. A Fulham side which has now won only 3 games this season was able to fight back from an own goal to go ahead and win 2-1. Their squad was full of new faces from acquisitions made during the January transfer window as well as some players making their way back from injury.
For the American contingent, Clint Dempsey got the start and Brian McBride made a second half appearance. This was his first time on the pitch since August although he did not really get a chance to do much. Dempsey played well, hustling and showing his technical abilities. There was no sign of Bocanegra, Keller or EJ.
All in all, it was a good game for Fulhamerica. The team looked much stronger than they had the past couple times I have seen them play. Fulham was actually able to possess the ball instead of playing long balls all evening. They did surprisingly well against an Aston Villa side who has been playing good soccer all season. In fact, Fulham scored all 3 goals in the game (one was an own goal), including a spectacular free kick by Jimmy Bullard who recently returned from a long injury. Now let's see if they can make a run to get out of the Premiership basement...
