Dean Smith’s return to Griffin Park didn’t go the way that he would have hoped as Neal Maupay netted the only goal of the game with just injury time remaining.
However, the game was not as close as the scoreline suggests as Villa were under the pump for most of the 90 minutes – as can be seen from Brentford’s 23 shots on goal to Villa’s 6.
We feel that Lovre Kalinic, Tommy Elphick, and Tyrone Mings are the three reasons why Villa didn’t lose by more tonight, so we have set up a duel so that you can vote for your Villa MOTM (if you think there was one).
