ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 26 December 2017
Villa lose for the second time in three games as Dean Smith's Brentford gain the upper hand once again.
Despite taking a lead within 9 minutes Villa can’t hang on for a first win in four as their difficult December continues.
The defeat was not helped by Steve Bruce diverging from his consistent and calm selection policy of recent months.
Albert Adomah makes his 50th start in a Villa shirt (61 Appearances) to make it W25 D16 L20, 15 Goals, 11 Assists, and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Sam Johnstone concedes his 50th goal in a Villa shirt on his 46th appearance to make it W18 D11 L17, 1 Assist, 50 Goals Conceded and 17 Clean Sheets so far in his Villa career.
