Aston Villa star slammed for performance vs Brentford
It is safe to say that Villa’s game vs Brentford was a bad night at the office for the hosts. After cruising to a 2-0 lead, the hosts completely lost control of the match and went 3-2 down in 10 minutes.
Watkins managed to rescue a point late on but it was another two points dropped for Unai Emery’s side.
Things were however made worse late on as Douglas Luiz managed to pick up his 10th booking of the season resulting in a two-game suspension. This was then slammed as ‘stupid and frustrating’ by the Claret and Blue podcast with Villa now having to navigate two games without one of their best players.

Douglas Luiz’s suspension reaction
Douglas Luiz himself was far from happy about the suspension. The midfielder was lucky to escape a second yellow in the previous match against Man City but will now serve a ban regardless.
The first-team squad and Emery were obviously displeased with the Brazilian and at full-time, the midfielder realised the weight of his actions.
At the final whistle, Douglas Luiz put his shirt over his head in dismay and stormed straight down the tunnel journalist John Townley reported.

Dion Dublin hails Ollie Watkins
Despite the result, many of the first-team at Villa Park could come out from the Brentford result with their head held high.
One was Watkins. Without his two goals, Villa would have certainly been condemned to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.
After the match, Dublin hailed Watkins’ ‘brave’ post-match comments as the striker insisted his team lacked a ‘big team mentality’.
