Sunderland 0-2 Brentford:Chris Coleman's relegation woes continue after enduring another home defeat
Sunderland passed up the chance to boost their Sky Bet Championship survival hopes as Brentford won 2-0 on their first ever visit to the Stadium of Light. The Bees secured the three points courtesy of two first-half goals and a solid opening 45 minutes, leaving the struggling Black Cats with a mountain to climb after the interval. Brentford capitalised on Sunderland's woeful start by following up Kamo Mokotjo's 14th-minute opener with a second goal in the 28th minute through striker Neal Maupay.

Fulham 2-0 Aston Villa: Ryan Sessegnon and Floyd Ayite on target for the hosts extending run
Floyd Ayite stole the show with a wonderfully taken long-range effort as Fulham brought Aston Villa’s run of seven consecutive league wins to a juddering halt. The Togo international found the net from inside his own half at Craven Cottage after making the most of Sam Johnstone’s poor clearance from a free kick on the right-hand touchline. The strike was the cherry on top a devastating second-half display, where Slavisa Jokanovic’s side went ahead through the right boot of 17-year-old Ryan Sessegnon.

The rally was not enough but West Brom, deep in chaos with Alan Pardew's future hanging in the balance even before the infamous Barcelona taxi heist of 2018, at least showed they still care. Southampton's door was thumped, their crossbar struck, their goal guarded heroically. Pardew deserved a replay and pointed to a gutsy second-half performance. He will do similar if asked to explain an eighth defeat in charge by owner Guochuan Lai.
