Match Timeline

โ—| Chance! Villa slice through Brentford, Morgan Rogers puts it into Ollie Watkinsโ€™ path, straight at the โ€˜keeper
๐Ÿ’ฅ | 15โ€™ Foul on the edge of the penalty area on Leon Bailey? Free kick to Brentford according to the ref
โšฝ | 21โ€™ Goal, 1-0, Morgan Rogers, Assist by Ollie Watkins.
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | Absolute stunner from the blonde bombshell, started the move in his own half and finished it like a pro.
๐Ÿ’ฅ | 25โ€™ Ollie Watkins is fouled in the boxโ€ฆ.. Referee gives a penโ€ฆ. now for the VAR farceโ€ฆ they do a like a foul Brentford
๐ŸŽฅ | 27โ€™ Given!
โšฝ | 28โ€™ Goal, 2-0, Ollie Watkins, pen
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | Villa have actually scored a pen and Ollie Watkins has finally decided itโ€™s his responsibility, that is very positive news
โšฝ | 34โ€™ Goal, 3-0, Matty Cash, Assust by Morgan Rogers
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | Cashy volleys it in, beauty! Ironically The talk all week is Rogers should have been rested, the right side is weak and Watkins canโ€™t take pensโ€ฆ. it just shows Unai knows far far better than any of us.
โ—| 42โ€™ Massive Chance! Youri Tielemans puts Ollie Watkins, finger tip save from the โ€˜keeper
๐Ÿ’ฅ | 43โ€™ More physicality from Brentford, it really isnโ€™t to their credit at all
โ—| 44โ€™ Chance! Youri Tielemans again, Ollie Watkinsโ€™s gets his header wrong
๐Ÿ•’ | 45โ€™+3 HT Aston Villa 3-0 Brentford
โ—| 50โ€™ Chance! John McGinn volleys wide from Morgan Rogersโ€™ delivery
โ—| 53โ€™ Massive Chance! Ollie Watkinsโ€™ header from John McGinnโ€™s cross needs a huge save from the โ€˜keeper
๐Ÿฅ… | 54โ€™ Goal, 3-1, (Brentford), Mikkel Damsgaard
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | No clean sheet for Villa, Brentford not in the game, poor defensive clearance and a first shot on goal ends up in the net, typical. Villa have to cut out these mistakes, every one is being punished.
โ—| 58โ€™ Massive Chance! Ollie Watkinsโ€™ shot has the โ€˜keeper beaten but a lucky leg deflects it wide
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | Brentford have been battered but Villa are understandably nervous, next goal is huge
๐Ÿ” | 65โ€™ Sub off, Leon Bailey, Sub on, Jaden Philogene-Bidace
๐Ÿ” | 65โ€™ Sub off, Ollie Watkins. Sub on, Jhon Durรกn
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | One goal in his last 15 appearances for Jhon Durรกn, thatโ€™s a bold move
๐ŸŸจ | 65โ€™ Booking, Jhon Durรกn, Elbow
๐Ÿ” | 71โ€™ Sub off, Boubacar Kamara, Sub on, Ross Barkley
โ—| 75โ€™ Chance! Jhon Durรกnโ€™s effort saved by the โ€˜keeperโ€™s legs (again), ball in from Barkley
โ—| 76โ€™ Tyrone Mings heads over
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | How many times do we see Villa thwarted by a freak goalkeeping performance, this guy isnโ€™t that good yet itโ€™s all happening for him, so frustrating
๐ŸŸจ | 82โ€™ Booking, Matty Cash, Bad Foul
โ—| 85โ€™ Massive Chance! Again the Brentford โ€˜keeper stops Villa as Lucas Digneโ€™s cut back to Jhon Durรกn is his latest freak save
๐Ÿ—’๏ธ | Apart from their physicality Brentford have not been in this game, only the โ€˜keeper has stopped it being a huge Villa scoreline to break the no win run
๐Ÿ” | 87โ€™ Sub off, Morgan Rogers, Sub on, Emiliano Buendรญa
๐Ÿ” | 87โ€™ Sub off, John McGinn, Sub on, Ian Maatsen
โ—| 89โ€™ Chance! Same combination again Lucas Digne into Jhon Durรกn but he canโ€™t hit the target
๐Ÿ•’ | 90โ€™+6 FT Aston Villa 3-1 Brentford
