Aston Villa were held to a 1-1 draw against Brentford in the Premier League yesterday.
Ivan Toney scored his first Premier League goal in the seventh minute of the game but Villa did well to come back into the contest on the 13th minute with a goal from Emiliano Buendia.
The home side were the better team heading into the contest and they did their best to win the game. However, Brentford have shown outstanding resilience and organisation so far in the league and they managed to impress once again.
The newly-promoted side were well organised at the back and they managed to keep the likes of Danny Ings quiet throughout the game.
Brentford are currently unbeaten in their three league matches and the Bees are 9th in the table, two places above Aston Villa.
The Aston Villa attackers did not have their best outing against Brentford yesterday but the hard-working performance of Anwar El Ghazi attracted a lot of praise on social media.
The 26-year-old impressed with his link-up play and movement throughout the game. El Ghazi looked like the only player who tried to make things happen yesterday.
Here is what the Aston Villa fans had to say about his performance against the Bees.
Completely agree, El Ghazi and Buendia were Villa’s best performers today.

100% agree on this. Looked to make things happen. Even in the first half after we conceded. Anwar is and will be a good player for us again this season.

Anwar was good today, the little interchange with Ings in the corner, then Ings pass to Buendia and the goal. Superb.
What spoilt the game was the referee.He was awful,shouldn’t be refereeing at this level.
Great crowd with over 42,000 was amazing. pic.twitter.com/kbPxeSBhYd— AndyAVFC 🏴🦁 (@bradfadbad69) August 28, 2021
For anyone that didn’t see the game today, pleaae ignore any rubbish tweeted abut El Ghazi – ran his socks off, gave everything and looked our biggest threat 2nd half. He’s limited but he played well today. #avfc
