They scored three goals against Dibu Martínez in nine minutes, but Aston Villa ultimately salvaged the tie

He Aston Villa of the Drawing Martinez saved a point thanks to one of the scorers premier league. After the Argentine goalkeeper suffered three goals in nine minutes with which Brentford turned the game around, Ollie Watkins dressed as a hero to make it 3-3 with ten minutes to go and score his 18th goal, one less than Erling Haaland.

The draw favored a third team: if Tottenham beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday, they would equal Unai Emery’s men on points in the bottom position with access to the Champions League.

Aston Villa is gradually deflating and continues to appear vulnerable. He has accumulated four setbacks in the last five days. They were beaten by Tottenham (0-4) and Manchester City (4-1) and also drew against West Ham (1-1). They only beat Wolves (2-0) and Brentford’s visit to Villa Park, still fighting not to lose the category, presented itself as an opportunity to get back on track.

And Aston Villa started very well, finding themselves 2-0 up after the first minute of the second half thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins (in the 39th minute of the first half) and Morgan Rogers. Everything seemed to be under control for Unai Emery’s team, who however lowered their arms and suffered in one breath a spectacular return.

Between minutes 59 and 68, Brentford turned the tables. Zanka, Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa scored three almost consecutive and identical goalsas they arrived through the centers from the left of the departed Spaniard Sergio Reguilón unprotected to Dibu Martínez and frozen to the Villa Park crowd, who would still have one last surprise thanks to the final reaction of their players.

In a last gasp, Watkins appeared again to rescue a point thanks to a great header in the final section. With his brace, the Aston Villa striker responded to Erling Haaland, who broke his fast this Saturday against Crystal Palace and is only one point ahead of Watkins in the top scorers table.

But that trophy will surely not be of much interest to Aston Villa fans, who will probably be more eager to finish in one of the top four places with a Champions League prize. The draw against Brentford could complicate that great and dreamed goal. If Tottenham won, they would drop to fifth place.

The mistake the Premier League is talking about

An error by Kosovar goalkeeper Arjanet Muric which Dominic Calvert-Lewin took advantage of gave the victory this Saturday to Everton at Goodison Park, who after 13 games without a win added the three points and distanced themselves from relegation.
