The English team Aston Villa, with Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano 'Dibu' MartÃnez in its ranks, managed to defeat Fulham 1-0 in a Premier League match. This victory keeps Aston Villa's hopes alive of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League next season.
The goal of the match was scored by Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans, who headed in at the 12th minute of the first half, following a corner kick at Villa Park. With this victory, Aston Villa has accumulated 60 points and is currently in seventh place in the table.
The team is close to the qualification spots for the UEFA Champions League in the 2025/26 season, as the top five teams in the Premier League qualify for this competition. Aston Villa returned to the Champions League this season after more than 40 years of absence.
The win against Fulham was a relief for the 'Villains,' who had been eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain and in the semi-finals of the FA Cup against Crystal Palace.
Additionally, other matches will be played on Saturday in the Premier League: Everton vs Ipswich Town, Leicester vs Southampton, and Arsenal vs Bournemouth.
