MANSHETER, England (AP) — Aston Villa won a 3-1 3-1 victory over Pulham on Sunday for the first time in the Premier League this season. <\/p>\n
Two goals in the second half at Villa Park sealed the comeback victory after Fulham took an early lead through Raul Zimenez. <\/p>\n
Ollie Watkins leveled the game before halftime, while John McGinn and Emiliano Buendia hit right after the break to help the sixth Villa win the league, asked at the beginning of the season. <\/p>\n
The victory provided relief to coach Unai Emery, who endured the difficult start of the campaign. The Spaniard, who led Villa to Champions League qualifiers in his first full season in charge, discovered that after two losses and three draws, he was fighting the team at the wrong end of the rankings in the opening weeks of this campaign. <\/p>\n
And it looked like another frustrating day when Jimenez headed forward Fulham for three minutes. <\/p>\n
However, Watkins scored the first goal of the season by lobbing Fulham goalkeeper Bern Leno on the 37th. <\/p>\n
McGinn drove a low shot from 20 yards (meters) to the bottom corner in the second four minutes, and two minutes later Buendia fired from close range.<\/p>\n
Newcastle played Arsenal later that day.<\/p>\n
