Dango Ouattara opened his account for Brentford as Keith Andrews celebrated his first Premier League victory with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The winger, who joined the Bees from Bournemouth for a club-record £42.5million just last week, settled the contest with a calm finish in the first half.
Ouattara made the most of a long ball from Caoimhin Kelleher, which was cleverly flicked on by Igor Thiago, and slotted past Emiliano Martínez after just 12 minutes.
Villa improved after the break but struggled to break down Brentford’s defence, with Kelleher producing several key saves.
Mikkel Damsgaard thought he had pulled one back just before half-time, only for the effort to be ruled out for a foul in the build-up. In the end, it made little difference as Villa remain without a win or a goal so far this season.
