Aston Villa Youth side managed to progress to the Semi Finals of the FA youth Cup last night after a thrilling game against Fulham Youth which they eventually won on penalties.
Fulham were the side who took the lead after dominating the first half and they were soon awarded on the 39th minute.
Keanu-March Brown slotted in Marcelo Trotta after a mazy run and the striker put the ball in the bottom corner.
The equaliser comes five minutes before the hour mark. Ryan Simmonds won possession on the left, slotted in Roberts who crossed low to Kofi Poyser in the middle and the forward expertly tucked it home.
Neither side could find a winner however, so the game went to extra time.
Trotta put Fulham back in the lead for Fulham on 113 and thought he had won the game when he found space and struck home from a tight angle.
However, Villa had different ideas when Devine scored from close range to take this tie to penalties.
Barrett denied Fulham’s first two takers, Joshua Pritchard and Richard Peniket, while Deeney tucked away the winning penalty to send Villa through.
