Dango Ouattara scored on his Brentford debut, netting after 12 minutes to give the Bees a 1-0 win over Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium. Ouattara raced onto Igor Thiago's headed flick and beat Emiliano Martinez at the second attempt. Brentford had a second goal ruled out before halftime when Mikkel Damsgaard volleyed in but Nathan Collins was penalised for a foul on Martinez. Villa dominated possession and recorded 17 shots, but struggled to create clear chances and managed only one second-half effort on target from Amadou Onana. The victory lifted Brentford to 10th in the table and marked Keith Andrews' first win.
Dango Ouattara was the hero on his Brentford debut as the Bees edged out Aston Villa 1-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium. The former Bournemouth winger, who arrived for a club-record fee last weekend, made an instant impact for Keith Andrews' side as they registered their first victory of the season. Ouattara struck what proved to be the winner after just 12 minutes, racing onto Igor Thiago's headed flick before beating Emiliano Martinez at the second attempt.
The visitors had controlled large periods of the first half and continued to do so after the break, with Morgan Rogers seeing a shot deflected wide within four minutes of the restart. However, for all their possession, Villa struggled to generate a decent attacking threat. Amadou Onana's tame long-range effort represented their only second-half attempt on target, with Brentford holding firm to hand Andrews his first win since taking over from Thomas Frank.
