What Emi Buendia did after substitution as Brentford defeat not excused by Aston Villa transfer Aston Villa’s attack misfired in their first Premier League loss, a 1-0 defeat at Brentford. Despite 17 shots, only two were on target, highlighting a lack of cutting edge. Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers, key players last season, struggled to impact the game. Emery’s side needs more pace and width, especially a right winger, to unlock defenses. Existing attacking talent like Malen and Buendia remain underutilized, raising questions about their future if new signings arrive.
