Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford: Emiliano Buendia shows signs of post Jack Grealish future

When Emiliano Buendia curled home his first goal for Aston Villa, the Argentine was greeted with a deafening roar from the home supporters inside the stadium.

Club-record signing Buendia, brought in from Norwich in the summer for £33m, announced himself to the raucous Villa faithful, collecting Danny Ings' pass and caressing a delightful finish into the corner.

Buendia's lovely strike was the equaliser for Villa against Brentford and although Dean Smith's side could not find a winning goal, there were signs of a bright future following the departure of Jack Grealish.
