Brentford coach Keith Andrews was visibly torn after their 2-2 draw with Aston Villa at Villa Park. In a thrilling Premier League game, Yehor Yarmoliuk gave the visitors the lead in the 10th minute, but Nicolas Jackson equalized just 88 seconds later. John McGinn made Villa 2-1 in the 77th minute when his shot took a massive deflection off Kristoffer Ajer. However, Ajer made amends just moments later by scoring the equalizer from close range. The result secures Brentford fourth place in the Premier League table and extends their unbeaten run in the league. The "Bees" have now been undefeated in the Premier League for eight games, but have also lost eight points from leading positions, only Bournemouth have lost more from such positions with nine points. Andrews had mixed feelings after the game: "I'm honestly torn. I liked a lot of things today - the fighting spirit, the determination. But there was also a certain lack of practice, which is understandable. I don't want to use that as an excuse, but the boys have been away for three weeks and we're trying to find the balance," Andrews said. "Then we had Kevin Shade's injury and Jannik Schuster wasn't fit and had to be substituted at half-time, so we were tested today. "But we also played against a team that was starting to click before the international break. The fact that we are disappointed after playing away against a Champions League team that spends a lot of money says a lot." Unai Emery, the Aston Villa coach, considered the result fair, although Aston Villa now failed to win in the first three home games of a season for the first time since 2015-16. "A draw at home is not a good result. I think we played a game where we improved in many aspects compared to our last home game against Nottingham Forest. We created chances but conceded more than I expected," reflected Emery. He added: "Maybe the result is fair, but I can't tell the players anything about the game when I see how we're improving. We kept pushing, we had chances, but that's what they had. In the end we could have won, but we could have lost." Emery will be hoping for a better result when his team host Fenerbahce in the Champions League on Tuesday.

What happens next

Brentford will now focus on the upcoming games to continue their unbeaten run in the Premier League and consolidate their position in the table. Andrews will likely need to work on the balance between returning injured players and integrating new talent to optimize his team's performance. The next matches could be crucial in boosting the team's morale and confidence.
