Romeo Beckham was brought off the bench for his second Brentford B appearance since joining on loan, with his father David again in attendance for the Premier League Cup match against Aston Villa’s Under-21 side.
Beckham had made his debut on Tuesday by making a substitute appearance against semi-professional side Erith and Belvedere in the London Senior Cup.
The 20-year-old got 30 more minutes of Premier League Cup action after being introduced with Brentford B winning 2-0.

The hosts finally secured a 3-2 victory over Villa after a series of three goals in five minutes.
The result confirmed Brentford B as winners of their Premier League Cup group, with the team now set to contest the knockout stages.
Romeo will continue to feature in Premier League Cup qualifiers and will play matches abroad as part of the B-team setup until the end of the season.

The team’s technical director, Thomas Frank, has also spoken highly of the midfielder, insisting he was signed “for a reason” and not thanks to his famous father.
Frank stated that Beckham should be seen as his own player and allowed to develop his game.
“Romeo is a very good player, of course he has quite a global and big name,” Frank said.
“For Romeo he is himself, but of course he has a great name. He cannot be compared (father and son)’.

Frank then made the comparison between Danish international Michael Laudrup and his son Andreas, whom he coached.
“Maybe Laudrup is also a decent player (similar to David Beckham), I coached his son and it’s important to take him as a player, not like Laudrup but himself.”
“He’s here for a reason, because we think he’s a good player, and we’re happy he can do the loan deal.”
‘(We are) pleased to see him do well, pleased to see the performance he had in the last game and when you have players, whether they are permanent or on loan, it’s for a reason.
“It’s to make the team perform, or to extend the loan deal and turn it into a permanent deal, so we just hope he keeps progressing and makes it very interesting for us.”
