Match Timeline
โ| Chance! Villa slice through Brentford, Morgan Rogers puts it into Ollie Watkinsโ path, straight at the โkeeper
๐ฅ | 15โ Foul on the edge of the penalty area on Leon Bailey? Free kick to Brentford according to the ref
โฝ | 21โ Goal, 1-0, Morgan Rogers, Assist by Ollie Watkins.
๐๏ธ | Absolute stunner from the blonde bombshell, started the move in his own half and finished it like a pro.
๐ฅ | 25โ Ollie Watkins is fouled in the boxโฆ.. Referee gives a penโฆ. now for the VAR farceโฆ they do a like a foul Brentford
๐ฅ | 27โ Given!
โฝ | 28โ Goal, 2-0, Ollie Watkins, pen
๐๏ธ | Villa have actually scored a pen and Ollie Watkins has finally decided itโs his responsibility, that is very positive news
โฝ | 34โ Goal, 3-0, Matty Cash, Assust by Morgan Rogers
๐๏ธ | Cashy volleys it in, beauty! Ironically The talk all week is Rogers should have been rested, the right side is weak and Watkins canโt take pensโฆ. 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 โkeeper
๐ฅ | 43โ More physicality from Brentford, it really isnโt to their credit at all
โ| 44โ Chance! Youri Tielemans again, Ollie Watkinsโs gets his header wrong
๐ | 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 McGinnโs cross needs a huge save from the โkeeper
๐ฅ
| 54โ Goal, 3-1, (Brentford), Mikkel Damsgaard
๐๏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 โkeeper beaten but a lucky leg deflects it wide
๐๏ธ | Brentford have been battered but Villa are understandably nervous, next goal is huge
๐ | 65โ Sub off, Leon Bailey, Sub on, Jaden Philogene-Bidace
๐ | 65โ Sub off, Ollie Watkins. Sub on, Jhon Durรกn
๐๏ธ | One goal in his last 15 appearances for Jhon Durรกn, thatโs a bold move
๐จ | 65โ Booking, Jhon Durรกn, Elbow
๐ | 71โ Sub off, Boubacar Kamara, Sub on, Ross Barkley
โ| 75โ Chance! Jhon Durรกnโs effort saved by the โkeeperโs legs (again), ball in from Barkley
โ| 76โ Tyrone Mings heads over
๐๏ธ | How many times do we see Villa thwarted by a freak goalkeeping performance, this guy isnโt that good yet itโs all happening for him, so frustrating
๐จ | 82โ Booking, Matty Cash, Bad Foul
โ| 85โ Massive Chance! Again the Brentford โkeeper stops Villa as Lucas Digneโs cut back to Jhon Durรกn is his latest freak save
๐๏ธ | Apart from their physicality Brentford have not been in this game, only the โkeeper has stopped it being a huge Villa scoreline to break the no win run
๐ | 87โ Sub off, Morgan Rogers, Sub on, Emiliano Buendรญa
๐ | 87โ Sub off, John McGinn, Sub on, Ian Maatsen
โ| 89โ Chance! Same combination again Lucas Digne into Jhon Durรกn but he canโt hit the target
