Bretford wins against Aston Villa after a comeback.
Brentford 2 vs 1 Aston Villa
Goals:
The visitors get themselves in front! It’s a sublime finish from Ings, who Buendia played in after a clever turn. The pass to Ings was perfectly weighted, and then the striker did the rest with a low left-footed finish across goal into the far corner past a diving Fernandez to make it 1-0.
The Bees have not been at the races so far, but Wissa gets his side back on level terms after being found by Rasmussen just outside the area. The forward takes a touch to shift it onto his left foot before finding the far corner with a superb finish. 1-1
Rasmussen is found by Baptiste on the right-hand side of the box and has two bites of the cherry as his first shot is straight at Martinez. However, the ball comes fortuitously straight back to him and his second effort deflects off Konsa and into the back of the net to send the Brentford fans into ecstasy. The Bees lead 2-1!
Brentford manager Thomas Frank:
“We played a horrible first half in many ways. Aston Villa was maybe on top, but I think it was a bad football match in the first half. It shows a lot about the mentality of the group. I said before the game about our mentality and how we managed to get three points because I knew it would be an actual game. At half-time, I said to keep the discipline, keep the good structure high and low. We will create something, and I can’t praise the players enough for their mentality.”
Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard:
“It was an excellent first half. They had one chance in the first half, scoring two chances in the second half. So we’ve gifted them three chances and conceded two goals from them. That’s a big disappointment, and inevitably we went on to lose the game. But from what I saw across the 90 minutes, we were much the better team.”
