A great performance by the youngsters away from home in a tricky cup tie, but enough of the youth team, who twice came from behind to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 at Villa Park in the FA Youth Cup.

With just over forty-eight hours separating the Premiership triumph at Stamford Bridge from the Carling Cup quarter-final at Burnley, not forgetting the draw for third round of the FA Cup, it is clear that the business end of the season is starting to take shape. Whilst others might have complained about facing two fixtures in […]
