Keith Andrews, the head coach of Brentford, talked about his "pride" after his team defeated Aston Villa 1-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium, giving him his first victory as manager. The home team put on a guileless effort that forced previous manager Thomas Frank off the field after a false start in last weekend's loss to Nottingham Forest, and Dango Ouattara made a club-record £42.5 million signing from Bournemouth and scored the game-winning goal on his debut.
Villa has yet to score a goal in the Premier League season. Twelve minutes into his debut, Ouattara scored his first goal. Fresh off scoring his first Premier League goal the previous weekend, Igor Thiago took advantage of Caoimhin Kelleher's long clearance to pass on Brentford's record buy, who then carved between Matty Cash and Pau Torres to score past Emiliano Martinez on the second try.
