Match report
Aston Villa and Brentford drew 2-2 at Villa Park after Brentford twice took the lead and Villa pulled level both times. Yehor Yarmoliuk opened the scoring in the 10th minute, Nicolas Jackson levelled two minutes later, John McGinn put Villa ahead in the 77th minute and Kristoffer Ajer equalised two minutes after that.
Yarmoliuk made it 1-0 in the 10th minute, Jackson answered in the 12th, and the sides went in level at the break.
Brentford made two changes on 67 minutes and Villa made two on 86 minutes, but the decisive moments came from the goals at either end of the closing stages. McGinn struck in the 77th minute from Johan Manzambi’s assist to make it 2-1, only for Ajer to level in the 79th minute after Jaidon Anthony’s pass. Villa had 52% of the ball and 406 passes to Brentford’s 358, with 20 shots to 14 and 7 on target to 4. Brentford matched Villa on corners at 2-2, while Villa had 3 saves to Brentford’s 5 and both sides were flagged offside once. The expected goals were 1.8 for Villa and 1.27 for Brentford.
The bookings were spread across the match. Brentford had five yellow cards for Igor Thiago in the 35th minute, Vitaly Janelt on 75 minutes, Michael Kayode on 82, Kristoffer Ajer on 84 and Callum Wilson plus K. Andrews in stoppage time. Villa were booked twice, with Emiliano Buendía in first-half stoppage time and Matty Cash on 72 minutes. There were no red cards.
