From the source
Nicolas Jackson scored his eighth goal in 10 games but an error from goalkeeper Zion Suzuki meant Aston Villa had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Fulham.
Villa should have gone ahead after 15 minutes when they were awarded a penalty following a review when Sander Berge was penalised for a handball in the box as he jumped with Leon Goretzka at a corner.
With neither Emi Buendia nor Ross Barkley in the line-up, John McGinn stepped up to take the penalty but the Scotland international - who had only ever taken a penalty for Villa in a shoot-out - smashed the ball against the crossbar and over.
