Brentford 2-1 Aston Villa: Danny Ings on target but Villa beaten on boss Steven Gerrard's return

Brentford boss Thomas Frank hailed his "incredible" side after victory over Aston Villa catapulted them into a position he claimed "shouldn't be possible".

The Bees, enjoying their first season in the Premier League, came from behind to ruin Steven Gerrard's return to the dugout and leapfrog Villa to 12th spot through Mads Roerslev's late winner.

Danny Ings steered Villa ahead after a delightful link-up with Emi Buendia but Roerslev set up Yoane Wissa to curl Brentford level and the Danish wing-back completed the comeback with his first goal for the club.

"We've played half our games in the Premier League, with the injuries we've had I think it's incredible what we've done - but we want more of course," Frank told BBC Match of the Day.
