It was another exciting performance from Aston Villa yesterday, despite the fact they couldn’t secure the 🍰win.
Brentford went 2-𝕴0 up through a penalty from Bryan Mbeumo and a stunning Josh Dasilva strike in the first half.
However, after th෴e water break Villa came alive and scored three quick goals of very high qu🏅ality.
A surging run from Ezri Konsa from his own box started the comeback before new signing Moussa Diaby equalised.
