LONDON : Brentford brought Aston Villa's run of five straight wins in the Premier League to an end in west London on Saturday, with the visitors securing a late 1-1 draw through Douglas Luiz after Ivan Toney had scored his 20th goal of the season for the Bees.
"Today we didn't play good but it's a very good point," Aston Villa boss Unai Emery told reporters, noting that Brentford have lost only twice at home all season. After an action-packed but goalless first half, Toney broke the deadlock in the 65th minute, striking a cross from Bryan Mbeumo straight between the legs of Villa's substitute keeper Robin Olsen to bag his 20th goal in all competitions this season.
The Bees fans then thought their side had struck a late winner in the 90th minute when second-half substitute Youane Wissa raced down the middle and lashed the ball past Olsen, only for his strike to be ruled out for offside.
