Alex Iwobi scores twice — 8.27
Two goals and a mark of 8.27 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Gonzalo is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Joachim Andersen in a row with a teammate

Ryan Sessegnon runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

No hiding place for Joachim Andersen
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joachim Andersen, and the manager let it.

Fulham rescue it on 98 minutes
Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 98. Aston Villa had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

Jonathan Watson out for 43 days
The medical room confirms 43 days on the sidelines for Jonathan Watson, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Alex Iwobi rescues a point for Fulham
It needed Alex Iwobi to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Aston Villa, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” James Scott was not hiding it after 2‑2, and nobody in the Fulham dressing room was either.
