Aston Villa Ends Winless Streak Against Brentford

Aston Villa secured a much-needed 3-1 win over Brentford, ending an eight-game winless streak thanks to goals from Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, and Matty Cash. Villa's victory was aided by Brentford's poor away form, as the Bees have struggled to earn points on the road, winning only one point away all season. Brentford manager Thomas Frank expressed frustration over the missed opportunity but remains focused as they prepare to host Newcastle. Meanwhile, Arsenal is set to face Fulham after a 2-0 victory against Manchester United, which helped them close the gap with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League. Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, is hopeful that injured players Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori will return for the match, although Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain sidelined. Both Arsenal's and Villa's performances reflect the competitive atmosphere in the Premier League, with teams striving to secure favorable positions as the season progresses.
