Aston Villa boss Dean Smith believes a "travesty" was prevented as his side rescued a point against West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.

Villa were losing 2-1 until stoppage time, when substitute Keinan Davis levelled matters against the relegation battlers.

Smith's side had led at one stage of the game through Anwar El Ghazi, but were pegged back after a Tyrone Mings own goal.

Matheus Pereira had then put West Brom in front, before Villa's late equalizer.

Smith said post-game, per the Express and Star: "I think it would have been a travesty had we been beaten. We were the main aggressors for the majority of the game.

"We had 25 to 26 shots on goal, 11 corners. It just shows you the team who were pushing to try and win the game."
