Bruce: Kodjia showed why Aston Villa missed him

Jonathan Kodjia demonstrated why he was missed by Aston Villa in the club’s 2-2 Championship draw with Brentford, according to manager Steve Bruce.

The Cote d’Ivoire striker’s brace ensured the club maintained their unbeaten run this season after Neal Maupay’s double seems to have handed the Bees a famous away victory.

The 28-year-old, ended his long-term barren spell against Ipswich Town on Saturday and continued with two goals to fetch his team a point.
