Video: Former Bees forward stings 10 men Brentford to complete Aston Villa comeback – Beragampengetahuan

Former Brentford striker Ollie Watkins has come back to sting the bees late on after firing Aston Villa to a 2-1 comeback.

Thomas Frank’s men were firmly in the drivers seat at 1-0, thanks to a goal from Keane Lewis-Potter, until defender Ben Mee saw a red card for a reckless challenge in the second half.

Just six minutes after Mee’s sending off, Alex Moreno found the equaliser for the visitors with a stooping header at the far post.

And then another back post header, this time via Watkins, saw Unai Emery’s men take the lead in the 85th minute.
