Villa U21 3-0 West Brom U21 – FT: It’s all over at Bodymoor Heath as Villa record their second consecutive Barclays U21 Premier League win. Graham Burke’s early strike put Villa in control before Jack Grealish, who had earlier been denied by Albion stopper Alex Palmer on various occasions, doubled the lead with a precise finish from 18 yards. The visitors did carve opportunities of their own and star man Adil Nabi was a threat but Jed Steer was alert. With just under 20 minutes remaining, Joshua Webb made the game safe as he tapped home Henry Cowans’ corner after Albion failed to clear.
