Substituted on 60 minutes. Good experience for him and all those young lads.

This Villa U23 team has improved since last season . IIRC last season's results in the Premier League U23 Cup were

Exeter City U23 3 Aston Villa U23 0

and

Aston Villa U23 0 Exeter City U23 4
And spent an awful lot of money doing it too, including £800k for the young striker who just scored against Liverpool. !

When players leave us at 16 the assumption is often that they will follow a similar career path to Sean Goss and disappear into the Academy of a big club to be barely heard of again.

However, last night means that all three of our recent 16 years old to leave have played first team football in their first season at their new club.
