Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa proud of the Squad

Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa expressed pride in his squad following a second-half resurgence during their 1-1 Premier League draw against Aston Villa on Saturday night. Aston Villa took the lead in the first half through a strike from Nicolas Jackson, but Fulham responded with a dominant second-half display to equalize via a Zion Suzuki own goal.

Arbeloa noted that he urged his players at halftime to fight more aggressively, play with ambition, and match their opponents' intensity. Although he felt Fulham created sufficient opportunities to secure a victory, Arbeloa voiced satisfaction with earning a point against a Champions League side ahead of their upcoming home match against Newcastle United.
