Aston Villa 1-0 Fulham: 'From fighting relegation to brink of Europe' - Emery's 'remarkable' job

From a relegation battle to European contenders - it is hard to believe the transformation at Aston Villa.

Since Unai Emery's appointment as manager in November, Villa are second in the Premier League form table - only below Arsenal - and top if you take just the last 10 games into account.

When they last played Fulham in October, they ended the game in crisis, out of the relegation zone only on goals scored - and without a manager.

That 3-0 loss at Craven Cottage saw Villa fans, whose side had only won two of their opening 11 matches, boo the side off and brought an end to Steven Gerrard's reign in charge.
