Jonathan Kodjia brace rescues Aston Villa from Brentford defeat

Jonathan Kodjia got his second and third goals of the season as Aston Villa played a 2-2 draw at home to Brentford on Wednesday.

The Bees looked to be cruising home with an away victory – thanks to Neal Maupay’s double – but the Cote d’Ivoire ensured his side got a point with his late seconds strike.

The Villans continued their unbeaten run after holding Ipswich Town to a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

But against Brentford, they made a false start with Maupay giving the visitors the lead in the 23rd minute courtesy of a thunderous half-volley thanks to an assist from Ollie Watkins.
