AVL 2-2 BRE: Match Review And Latest EPL Table

According to a report by BBC Sport on Saturday, October 10, 2026, Aston Villa were held to a 2-2 draw by Brentford in their Premier League match at Villa Park.

Brentford made a bright start to the game and took the lead in the 10th minute when Yehor Yarmoliuk found the back of the net with a well-taken right-footed volley, but Aston Villa responded almost immediately as Nicolas Jackson scored two minutes later to bring the home side back into the contest.

Both teams continued to search for another goal before the half-time break, with Villa creating some promising chances through Jackson and captain John McGinn. However, Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher produced important saves to prevent the hosts from taking the lead, ensuring that the two sides went into the break level at 1-1.

The second half continued in a similar fashion, as Aston Villa tried to make their home advantage count while Brentford remained dangerous whenever they moved forward. Villa eventually got the breakthrough in the 77th minute when McGinn scored with a right-footed effort after receiving an assist from Johan Manzambi, giving the home supporters hope of seeing their team secure all three points.

However, Brentford refused to give up and restored parity just two minutes later, as Kristoffer Ajer finished with his right foot following a well-delivered assist from Jaidon Anthony. The late goal changed the mood at Villa Park, leaving Villa with little time to find another winner despite their efforts during the closing stages.

Both teams continued to push for a decisive goal, but neither side could find a way through before the referee blew the final whistle after seven minutes of added time.

The draw means Aston Villa remain in 14th position on the Premier League table with just four points, while Brentford move up to fourth place after securing a valuable point away from home.
