Aston Villa made the perfect start to life after Steven Gerrard as they beat Brentford at a buoyant Villa Park to record only their third win of the season.
Ex-Liverpool captain Gerrard was sacked on Thursday following a heavy defeat at Fulham, with first team coach Aaron Danks taking charge of Sunday's game.
And Danks enjoyed an incredible debut in the dugout as Villa found themselves 3-0 up inside 15 minutes.
Leon Bailey got the ball rolling when he swept in from Douglas Luiz's pass following a smart corner routine in the second minute.
Danny Ings made it 2-0 five minutes later when he stabbed in from Bailey's cross before the striker got his second of the game in the 14th minute, converting a penalty after Tyrone Mings had been fouled.
