Alysson is also sent on, taking the place of Manzambi. It's been another impressive display by the Swiss midfielder.

84'BrentfordYellow Card

Soon after scoring Brentford's leveller, Ajer has his name taken by the referee for a less positive reason. The big defender is booked for dissent.

84'

Manzambi's free-kick is driven straight into a large yellow wall, before Brentford clear their lines. Villa attack once again, and McGinn's first-timer from 15 yards is comfortably parried by Kelleher.

83'

The VAR also concludes that Kayode wasn't the last man - maybe Hickey was covering - so he'll avoid a red card. Still, Brentford must defend a 22-yard free-kick.
