Ridgewell pounces late to rescue Villa in thriller with Fulham

Fulham 3 Aston Villa 3

Villa, unchanged following their 4-0 triumph over Everton on St Stephen's Day, fought back three times when a Brian McBride double and Heidar Helguson penalty had sent Fulham into the lead.

Chris Coleman's side had ample chances to put the game beyond reach but paid the price for some wayward finishing with Villa hitting back through Luke Moore and a second for Ridgewell.
