Fulham brush aside 10-man Villa to boost play-off hopes

Fulham continued their push for a play-off berth in the Sky Bet Championship with a 3-1 home victory over 10-man Aston Villa.
Ryan Sessegnon, Sone Aluko and Neeskens Kebano were on the scoresheet for the Cottagers who have now won four of their last five league matches.
Jack Grealish had briefly drawn Villa level just after half-time, but the visitors were always up against after seeing striker Jonathan Kodjia sent off in the 22nd minute after clashing with Ryan Fredericks.
The hosts were forced into just one change from the team that beat Norwich away from home, with youngster Sessegnon replacing the suspended Chris Martin.
