BRENTFORD, England — Ollie Watkins scored the winner and upset fans at his former club with his goal celebration as high-flying Aston Villa rallied to beat Brentford 2-1 in the Premier League. Watkins said after the match that his celebration was aimed at an abusive Brentford fan. Third-place Villa is one point behind leader Arsenal and level on points with second-place Liverpool, which drew 0-0 with Manchester United. Late goals from Alex Moreno and Watkins secured a dramatic late victory for Unai Emery's Villa at Brentford after Bees defender Ben Mee had been sent off 20 minutes from time.
