US EditionAston Villa Loses to Brentford to Hurt Premier League Title Bid and Man United Wins Again
Brentford secured a 1-0 win despite a red card, while Manchester United won their third straight match under Michael Carrick to close the gap on Aston Villa in the Premier League.
- A stoppage-time strike by Dango Ouattara gave Brentford a 1-0 victory at Villa on Sunday, delivering a major blow to Aston Villa's title hopes.
- After Schade's dismissal in the 42nd minute, Brentford defended with 10 men for over 45 minutes following his red card for kicking out at Matty Cash.
- Tammy Abraham had a second-half goal disallowed by VAR Paul Tierney after ruling the ball out in the build-up, having earlier seen a 15th-minute chance saved by Caoimhin Kelleher.
- Manchester United secured a third straight win under new manager Michael Carrick as around 500-600 fans protested ownership, and Benjamin Sesko scored in stoppage time at Old Trafford, leaving United fourth and five points behind Villa.
- Keith Andrews hailed his side's spirit after the win, calling it among their best, as Brentford's defence lifts them into seventh on 36 points and probably ends Villa's title hopes.
