Aston Villa provided a dramatic comeback to beat Brentford 2-1 at the weekend.

It was a game jam-packed with drama galore, which is just a standard Aston Villa game in the Premier League this season.

The Boubacar Kamara headbutt particularly wound up Villans captain John McGinn – but his rage was directed towards another first-team squad member…

A new star at Villa Park?

The Villan’s win against Brentford seriously optimised how they’ve been this season. Resilient, full of passion and, ultimately, a side with a winning mentality.

This is down to the manager and his coaching staff maintaining a team of players that are thriving, whilst also integrating new players into the squad when necessary.

One of these names featured against the Bees, giving Emery a new headache in this already chaotic season.

Speaking of stars at Villa Park, there haven’t been many better than that of the midfield maestro of Douglas Luiz.

The Brazilian has been an ever-present force in the midfield, that was until this weekend against the Bees, where he was out with a ban. Luckily, his side got the job done, but his return will be eagerly anticipated given another key midfielder now faces a suspension in Kamara.

In his recent absence, Luiz has done multiple live-streams which Villa fans have been tuning in to. This is despite the fact he speaks his native Portuguese throughout. He made a bold claim in one of these which has fans mega excited.
