Record signing Dango Ouattara scored on his debut as Brentford beat Aston Villa 1-0 at home to take their first points of the Premier League season on Saturday.

The 23-year-old Burkinabé, who joined the West Londoners a week ago for a reported 42 million pounds ($56.8 million), opened his account in the 12th minute after a toe-poke at goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez rebounded back for him to tuck away.

The victory continued Brentford's proud record of never having lost their first home game of a top-flight season in 10 campaigns.

It was also a first win for new Brentford manager Keith Andrews who replaced Thomas Frank, now in charge at Tottenham Hotspur, in June.

Brentford lost their opening game 3-1 at Nottingham Forest.
