Zion Suzuki Own-Goal Hands Fulham Equaliser Against Aston Villa

Zion Suzuki just handed Fulham a bizarre equalizer with a horror own-goal that cost Aston Villa a crucial win. Nicolas Jackson had put Villa ahead in the thirty-ninth minute with his eighth goal of the season. John McGinn also missed a penalty by smashing his shot against the crossbar. But the real drama happened midway through the second half. Suzuki caught a header from Alex Iwobi and then dropped the ball straight over his own goal line under zero pressure. That terrible mistake denied Unai Emery a fifth win in six games before their trip to Barcelona. The blunder capped off a wild week for Villa. Their chair Nassef Sawiris threatened legal action against pundit Jamie Carragher over an angry spat with fans. Villa now sits just below the top third of the Premier League.
