"Even though we made a lot of changes tonight, I feel as though we're growing as a group, we're taking steps, in terms of what we do with the ball, and we're definitely getting there. We mentioned the steps we wanted to take as a group, compared to a few weeks ago when we played against them here, when we were forced low; that was really early days for us as a group."
"After the first 10 minutes of the game, we started to dictate a lot of it, we caused a lot of problems down the right, and we looked really, really, dangerous. I was very happy with the reaction after that, and then the reaction after going a goal down. I wasn't worried at half-time. To be honest, I felt confident that we'd get back into the game."
Brentford beat Aston Villa on penalties after a 1-1 draw, with Harvey Elliott opening the scoring and Aaron Hickey equalising before Mikkel Damsgaard netted the decisive spot-kick. The win advanced Brentford to the fourth round of the EFL Cup. The result followed a late Premier League draw with Chelsea where Fabio Carvalho scored in stoppage time. Brentford occupy 12th in the league with four points from four games and face Fulham next. The group shows signs of improvement in possession, attacking down the right, and resilience after going behind, with squad rotation still producing positive outcomes.
