Brentford boss Thomas Frank says he was happy with his players after their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
Ivan Toney’s opener for the Bees was canceled out by Douglas Luiz three minutes from time.
“I am so pleased,” said Frank. “The players did everything we asked of them – I think it was close to a complete performance in many, many ways.
“The way we dominated Villa throughout the game until that equaliser, where they had one half-chance to [Jacob] Ramsey, was incredible, against a team that’s in great form.
“That’s a good indicator of how well we have done today; creating plenty of chances, plenty of opportunities to make it 2-0. So, in many ways, I’m very pleased.”
When asked if it was another game where the fine margins went against his side, he added: “That’s the thing that’s so tricky and so difficult, especially for myself – I need to be this calm guy and look at things from a bigger perspective.
“I look at the performance and it’s still difficult to cope with because you’re standing here and there should be only one winner in this game, if you look at everything, only one winner.
“So, from that perspective, it’s difficult to cope with. But that is football and we need to accept that.”
