The Premier League goalscoring drought is finally over for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.
Unai Emery's side found themselves a goal down inside the opening three minutes at Villa Park as Raúl Jiménez fired Fulham in front.
Things could have been a lot worse as the visitors were unlucky not to see a penalty awarded following a Matty Cash handball, as VAR stuck with the on-field decision.
Before half-time, Watkins stepped up with a crucial equaliser, after making a sensational run to meet a long ball from Lucas Digne.
With Bernd Leno in no man's land, Watkins cheekily dinked the goalkeeper to end a 700 minute goalscoring drought in the Premier League.
It was his first league goal of the new campaign, as well as Villa's second in six games.
That was a first Premier League in 700 minutes for Ollie Watkins.
