Nicolas Jackson scores again as Aston Villa recover against Brentford

Nicolas Jackson continued his promising start at Aston Villa by scoring in Saturday’s 10 October Premier League meeting with Brentford.

The Senegal international equalised in the 12th minute at Villa Park, just two minutes after the Bees had taken the lead. His goal gave Aston Villa an immediate response after the Birmingham side were caught out by Brentford’s early opener in the sixth round of fixtures.

Jackson’s finish underlined his growing importance to Aston Villa’s attack. The forward made the decisive contribution at a crucial moment, helping his side recover quickly after a difficult start to the match.

The goal was Jackson’s second in the Premier League for Aston Villa since he joined during the latest summer transfer window. The former Chelsea player will now look to build on that form during the coming weeks.
