Aston Villa

Villa stormed into an early advantage thanks to Leon Bailey's goal inside the opening two minutes of the match. And after Villa stormed into a 3-0 lead within the first 15 minutes of their game against Brentford - just three days after his sacking - fans were quick to suggest the Aston Villa had a three goal advantage within the opening 15 minutes against Brentford

It was Aston Villa's biggest result since beating Southampton 4-0 back in March with Leon Bailey, Danny Ings (2) and Ollie Watkins all on target against ...

DANNY INGS: Back in the goals with a clinically-taken brace, the first firing home after Bailey's pick-out before Ings slotted home from the spot. Buendia charged down lost causes and really got stuck in, much to the delight of the Villa faithful. Bailey turned creator again for the fourth as he arrowed his cross into Watkins' path before he whacked home for 4-0. Douglas almost popped up with his party piece from a corner with Raya tipping his effort onto the post. DOUGLAS LUIZ: Had a hand in the first as he worked a short corner before finding Bailey for 1-0. Dendoncker was a real Steady Eddie in there before his number was called on the hour with McGinn his replacement. ASHLEY YOUNG: Villa's Mr Reliable, Young was excellent value once again and slipped Bailey in with a brilliant pass which set up Ings for 2-0. Picked up a muscle injury in the first half but was OK to continue and helped Villa claim their first match-winning clean sheet in over a month. Cash had his mate Watkins ahead of him and the Polish international went close twice with Raya pulling off a super stop to deny Cash before the break. He'll love that clean sheet as well and will no doubt celebrate with a tub of Pringles and a Coke. And 4-0 it finished with Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back In Town played after the final whistle as Danks went right upto the Holte End afterwards. Ollie Watkins, playing as a right winger, went close not long after as Emi Martinez picked out his teammate with a quick kick out of his hands while, before the half was out, Raya made a trio of saves, first to deny Douglas Luiz from scoring another corner.

The Brentford manager Thomas Frank, thought to be under consideration at Aston Villa, said: 'There are a lot of rumours out there'

“This club is steeped in tradition and history and we just want this club moving.” I realise this is a great club in many ways, but I have said many times before I am pleased in Brentford and I have unfinished business to do,” he said. I know the players well and they played with energy and purpose like I asked them to. One thing is for sure I have a job I am very glad for. I love Brentford, that is what I am focusing on.” Villa are believed to be willing to pay the £27m release clause for Sporting’s Ruben Amorim, and could also sound out Thomas Tuchel, the former Chelsea manager.

Gerrard's fall from grace at Aston Villa another cautionary tale about star players turned manager.

If Gerrard gave the impression at Villa that he believed it was all about him, maybe that’s because for most of his career it was. But as Gerrard’s results failed to live up to the hype, his profile became a liability. Perhaps his most infuriating habit was the way he always seemed to end up talking about himself. As a player he inspired those around him with deeds, as a manager he proved unable to do it with words. Mings’ recent form showed why Gerrard wanted rid of him – a bungled defensive header that laid on a Chelsea goal for Mason Mount, then an own-goal at Fulham that proved to be the last of the Gerrard era. Fame and exaltation opens some doors, but it shuts down whole ways of understanding the world. Unfortunately, after Mings was busted down to private it turned out Gerrard hadn’t yet planned the final phase of the operation: how to move him out of the club. Gerrard’s profile is, of course, the reason why his first two jobs in management were at big club like Rangers and Aston Villa. Still, these errors, though costly, were not as damaging as the limitations of Gerrard’s personal style. That form is good enough for 30 points in a 38-game season, which would have got you relegated in nine of the last 10 years. The wisdom of signing Philippe Coutinho on loan, effectively sidelining Villa’s record signing Emiliano Buendía, who had only been there for six months, was debatable. Steven Gerrard, who famously fell over once, already knew what it was like to be memed and mocked by millions of gloating tribal enemies.

Aston Villa are close to appointing Villarreal's former Arsenal manager Unai Emery to succeed the sacked Steven Gerrard.
