Nicolas Jackson continued his strong start with Aston Villa by scoring in their Premier League meeting with Brentford on Saturday, 10 October.
The Senegal international equalised in the 12th minute at Villa Park, just two minutes after the Bees had taken the lead. His goal allowed Aston Villa to recover quickly after falling behind in the sixth-round fixture.
Brentford had stunned the home side by opening the scoring in the 10th minute, but Jackson’s immediate response restored balance for the Birmingham club.
The goal further underlined the importance of the Senegalese forward to Aston Villa’s attack. He made a decisive contribution at a crucial moment to revive his side in a match that had begun badly for them.
Jackson has now scored twice in the Premier League for Aston Villa since joining from Chelsea during the last summer transfer window. The latest goal provides further encouragement as he looks to maintain his scoring form in the coming league matches.
