Chương 188: Picked apart

In the 59th minute, Aston Villa scored.

They went ahead for the first time this game.

In the 64th minute, Andersen got a straight red card after an overzealous challenge, dooming Fulham to play the rest of the game with just 10 men.

There was still 26 minutes to play in this game, and not just that, Fulham were trailing one goal behind their opponents.

Immediately after the red card decision by the referee, Coach Marco Silva responded immediately, making changes.

Marco Silva took off Pereira and Emile Smith Rowe who was having a bad game in his standards since making the switch to Fulham. In place of the 2 attacking players, he put in Diop, a defender, and Cairney, a more well-rounded player.

Fulham's playstyle on the pitch changed immediately, becoming a bit more defensive to make up for the loss of one player.

FWEEE!

When play restarted though, it was clear that Fulham was shaky.
