## Key points

- Suzuki’s own goal gave Fulham a 1-1 draw at Villa.
- Jackson scored after McGinn struck the crossbar with a penalty.
- Villa now turn to Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Barcelona.

## Summary

The article adds context to Fulham’s 1-1 draw at Aston Villa, where Zion Suzuki’s own goal denied Villa a fifth win in six matches. The result leaves Unai Emery’s side short of a chance to move up to seventh before their Champions League visit to Barcelona on Tuesday.

Nicolas Jackson put Villa ahead in the 39th minute after Johan Manzambi’s through ball, but John McGinn had earlier hit the crossbar with a penalty. Fulham, who have taken seven points from their last three league games, kept pressing after the break and equalised through Suzuki’s error. The match also unfolded amid a dispute between Villa chair Nassef Sawiris and pundit Jamie Carragher over Carragher’s remarks about Villa fans and Emery.
