ROMERO, oh Romeo, where art thou Romeo?
Brentford’s B Team clinched a 3-2 win over Aston Villa but it was not to BEE for Beckham who failed to make an impact on Friday night.
The 20-year-old entered the fray on the hour mark for Aaron Hickey, in his second match since signing on loan from Inter Miami II, the reserve team of the US Major League Soccer club his father co-owns.
But he lost the ball twice and was beaten on the left-flank in the build-up to Villa’s second goal.
Doting dad David was front and centre to cheer on his middle son along with daughter Harper.
Ryan Trevitt lashed in the opener from close-range on 20 minutes for the hosts following Alex Gilbert’s inch-perfect corner, before Yehor Yarmoliuk doubled the lead on the half-hour mark.

Villa pulled one back thanks to Hayden Lindley in the 73rd minute but Gilbert nudged Brentford further ahead from the penalty spot.
Lamare Bogarde hit back again for Villa with a second but the hosts held on.
In fairness, Beckham grew into the game with two crisp corners in the dying minutes, but Daniel Oyegoke headed wide on the first and the second was superbly blocked.
On Tuesday, Beckham won his debut in English football at Erith & Belvedere, with dad David leaping over a fence and scrambling through bushes to congratulate him.
