Aston Villa’s wait for a home win went on on Saturday after Brentford came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 Premier League draw at Villa Park.
Brentford took the lead through Yehor Yarmolyuk after Jaidon Anthony’s press forced Tyrone Mings into a loose pass, but Villa responded quickly when Nicolas Jackson finished from close range after Emi Buendía’s shot deflected into his path. The hosts then went ahead on 77 minutes when John McGinn scored, only for Kristoffer Ajer to level two minutes later.
The draw extended Villa’s winless home run since the Villa Park revamp left the ground with only three stands in use. It also kept Brentford unbeaten in the league this season. Unai Emery had already made clear he wanted a sharper response after Villa’s previous home defeat by Nottingham Forest, while Brentford manager Keith Andrews stayed unbeaten against Emery across four meetings.
Brentford also had chances to win it, with Igor Thiago a постоян?
