Two minutes of added time are to be played and we are into them now.

Young finally manages to get the better of Paintsil for the first time in the half but his cross is easily claimed by Schwarzer.

The hosts are getting a little sloppy at the moment and are gifting possession to the VIllains - it may not be as easy a last few minutes as was first thought if they can steal a goal.

All of a sudden players have begun to slip all over the field with Paintsil the latest to hit the deck allowing Carew to fire at goal but Schwarzer palms away.

The game is drifting towards the finish now as we enter the final ten minutes with Fulham in cruise control now - Villa look set to be the latest to leave the Cottage empty handed.

Villa have not got going at all in this second period. It appears that Roy Hodgson has plugged the gaps that the likes of Young were finding in the first half.

The pace and tempo of the game has slowed dramatically now that Fulham look to be cruising to the points as they are not throwing men forward anymore. This would be a fine win for the Cottagers.

Reo-Coker almost kickstarts a comeback with a fortuitous goal as Young's cross is smashed into the midfielder's chest by Aaron Hughes and loops onto the top of the net.

Villa may have made changes but the players look deflated now - the third goal has really taken it out of them and they are struggling to get Young and Agbonlahor in the game now.

That has forced O'Neill into a re-shuffle with Gareth Barry moving to left back now. While James Milner moves to right back and Agbonlahor to the right wing. I think that is everything...

All Fulham now as Hangeland bursts through from the back to try his luck from range but it was never anywhere near the target.

Agbonlahor has been unable to escape in behind the back four so far in this half so he tries his luck from range and sends a dipping drive a fraction wide.

Fulham are the team in control at the moment as they continue to flood forward in numbers with Gera the latest to try his luck from range.

What was in his teamtalk though was to switch Young and Milner over so Young is now on the right and Milner on the left. Will it have an effect?

Kamara's strike came after just 26 seconds of the second half - I'm sure that wasn't in Martin O'Neill's team talk.

There will be one minute of added time.

Fulham have enjoyed more of the ball, and probably the chances, but Villa are proving to be a real threat on the counter with Young and Agbonlahor in full flow.

A textbook counter attack from Villa as Young and Agbonlahor sprint the length of the field side by side and Young's eventual shot edges wide of the outside of the post.

A short stoppage to the frantic proceedings as Ashley Young has treatment and he looks to be struggling as he re-enters the fray.

Another headed opportunity for Nevland but again the striker's header is straight down the throat of a well placed Friedel.

That could have gone anywhere! Konchesky's corner drops at the feet of Kamara whose shot deflects off the heels of Petrov and spins agonisingly wide of the post with Friedel stranded.

Marvellous stop again from Friedel! The American stopper looks to be on top form today and, in all fairness, he had to be here to deny fellow countryman Dempsey from 20 yards.

Carew is proving to be an aerial menace once more today, with even 6'7" Hangeland unable to get the better of the big striker.

Should be 2-1 Fulham! Villa fail to clear Dempsey's cross and it drops to Gera on the edge of the six-yard box but he fires straight at Friedel and Nevland can't quite reach the rebound.

Superb tackle! Shorey looks to have angled Agbonlahor in on the left channel but Hangeland swings a long leg around the striker to steal the ball in timely fashion.

Villa play in a contrasting style as they attempt to get Young and Milner involved as often as possible - this time it's Milner but Hangeland holds off the England Under-21 winger.

Fulham are playing some delightful triangles in central areas as they try to unpick this Villa defence once more - but this time Petrov makes a smart interception on the edge of the box.

Kamara thinks he is in to make it 2-1 but he has gone a fraction early and the assistant flags him offside. The game is so open, we are in for a cracking afternoon!

Great chance wasted! Konchesky overlaps Dempsey yet again and angles a good drilled cross to Nevland but he miscues from ten yards out and the chance goes begging.

Ashley Young shows the first sign that he could be set to give Paintsil an awkward afternoon as he tricks his way to the byline but Carew's header is poor.

Fulham are now in the ascendency having taken the lead and Kamara is in behind Davies this time but he skews his shot wide of the far post.

Penalty! James Milner pushes Diomansy Kamara in the box and the referee points to the spot - why did he push him? Only MIlner will know.

What a save! Blistering stuff at the Cottage as Fulham move the ball nicely down the left and Konchesky curls to the far post where Nevland is free but Friedel dives sharply down to his left to make a brilliant stop.

Agbonalhor with a chance again as he latches onto Carew's flick but he flashes wide with his right foot - not far wide though.

Poor start from the hosts as they continually gift VIlla the ball and Agbonlahor almost takes advantage as he races into the box, but his shot is tame.
