Watkins, who is vying for a spot in the England squad for Euro 2024, made an impressive return from injury with a close-range header to give Villa the lead. Morgan Rogers then doubled their advantage with a brilliant strike into the bottom-right corner.

However, Brentford quickly pulled a goal back through Mathias Jorgensen before Bryan Mbeumo completed the comeback with a volley from the edge of the six-yard box. Yoane Wissa then gave Brentford the lead with a tap-in.
