Villa looked to be consolidating fourth position thanks to goals either side of half-time from Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers.
Aston Villa’s Premier League top-four hopes suffered a big blow as they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 against Brentford, who scored three times in nine minutes.
The hosts had to rally and a Watkins header rescued a point, but the result handed the impetus to Tottenham in the race for guaranteed Champions League qualification. After an even opening, Villa almost took the lead midway through the first half when Lucas Digne’s inswinging corner was clawed away by Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
Flekken scrambled to scoop the ball away and Leon Bailey followed it in, but the goal decision system showed Watkins’ header had crossed the line.The January signing from Middlesbrough picked up a Youri Tielemans pass, weaved into the area and found the bottom corner.They got themselves back in it just before the hour, but goalscorer Jorgensen did not know too much about it.
