Aston Villa 2-1 Liverpool: Impressive Young Lions clinch FA Youth Cup glory after edging to victory over Reds' U-18s at Villa Park with Ben Chrisene and Brad Young on target

Aston Villa's U-18s have won the FA Youth Cup after beating Liverpool's starlets at Villa Park in front of a crowd of over 4,000.

Free-scoring Villa, coached by Sean Verity, made their first appearance in the final of the showpiece since 2010 but were fearless from the off in their quest for success.

Ben Chrisene slotted home a wonderful opener early on to set the tone in the Midlands, and Villa continued to carve out openings in the hunt for a second.

That arrived just a matter of minutes later.
