Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Aston Villa’s win against Fulham on Monday evening.
Villa have got the better of Fulham 3-0 away from home at Craven Cottage in London in the Premier League.
Jack Grealish put the Villans in the lead after just four minutes, and Conor Hourihane doubled the advantage on 15 minutes.
Then in the opening minutes of the second half, Tyrone Mings made it 3-0 to the rising team and wrapped up all three points for his side.
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Lineker was following the match, and he has given his take on the win for Villa, and so have Villans legend Paul McGrath.
Great start to the season for @AVFCOfficial. In the top 4 with a game in hand on the leaders.
