Brentford’s Championship season continued with a draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Wednesday.

An equaliser two-minutes from time ensured Brentford came away from Aston Villa with a point in a one-one draw.

The lead came Aston Villa’s way ahead of the 20-minute mark when recent big money signing Kodjia curled home his first goal for the club from a Jedinak pass.

Brentford stayed in the match, missing chances to draw level, with Crystal Palace loanee Kaikai clipping a cross to the far post not cleared by the Villa defence with Egan, always a threat from the back, grabbed a point on 88-minutes.

Here’s a round up of the Championship action from the other matches played.

After successive defeats Brighton returned to winning ways with a one-nil win at Huddersfield, who still lead the table despite this defeat that saw and unbeaten run going into this match ended at the Amex Stadium.

This slip up saw Newcastle close the gap at the top to a point with an emphatic six-nil win at Loftus Road against QPR.

Derby’s start hasn’t been at all what would have been expected under Nigel Pearson with another loss suffered, this time Ipswich went away from the iPro with the points after a one-nil win.

Struggling Leeds and Blackburn met at Elland Road with the home side collecting the points, a two-one defeat for Rovers leaves them without a win under Owen Coyle in the Championship with Cardiff’s own struggles continuing with Preston running out three-nil winners at Deepdale.

Barnsley have been a real surprise package since coming up from League 1 via the play-offs last season with that impressive form continuing with a four-nil win secured over Wolves at Molineux.

The match on Wednesday both ended in draws, Aston Villa held at Villa Park by Brentford who equalised late on with a late Nottingham Forest comeback looking to have won them the points at Rotherham before the Millers’ 10-men earned a point in a two-all drawn.
