Aston Villa have failed to score in their opening two games and Brentford secured a big 1-0 win for new boss Keith Andrews thanks to record signing Dango Ouattara.

The Bees lost not only Frank, but their top scorer last season Bryan Mbeumo and captain Christian Norgaard in the close season, while Yoane Wissa has sat out Andrews' first two games in an attempt to force through a move to Newcastle.

Brentford spent a reported £42 million ($58 million) on Ouattara to replace Mbeumo and he delivered with the only goal on 12 minutes

The Burkina Faso international sprinted clear of Pau Torres before firing in at the second attempt after Emi Martinez saved his first effort.
