Brentford extend unbeaten start as Ajer secures draw at Aston Villa

Brentford have extended their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season with a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa. The match ended with Kristoffer Ajer scoring late for Brentford.

Aston Villa are still waiting for their first home Premier League win of the season. According to Unai Emery, the team's boss, Matteo Ruggeri suffered a hamstring injury during the game and was replaced at half-time by Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Ian Maatsen is also sidelined with an ankle injury.

Emery expressed frustration at not winning the game, but noted improvements from Villa's previous home defeat to Nottingham Forest. He felt the result was fair, but acknowledged that his team conceded more chances than expected.
