Ollie Watkins denied former club Brentford a first win in nine matches during a six-goal thriller at Aston Villa.The result leaves Villa in fourth with 60 points, three points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur who have two games in hand. Brentford are 16th with 29 points, four points above the drop zone after the draw stretched their winless run to nine games.
Although Villa dominated possession in the first half, having more than 75% of the ball at the half-hour mark, Brentford's stubborn defence kept them at bay until Watkins broke the deadlock in the 39th minute.
