Comments:
League position: 14th This was Aaron Danks’ first game as caretaker manager following the sacking of Steven Gerrard. He became the first Aston Villa manager to win his first game by a margin of four or more goals. Villa scored three goals in the first-half of a game in the Premier League for the first time since their 7-2 win against Liverpool on 4 October 2020. They had failed to score in all three of the previous games they had played on a Sunday so far in this Premier League season.0 Brentford
