A fantastic game of reserve team football finished 3-3 at full time, however we lost 3-2 in the penalty shoot out after poor pens by Collins and Fonz were saved and Albrighton hit wide. This was a thoroughly undeserved result for the Villa kids who deserved to win the title.
Villa totally dominated the first 40 mins and should have been 3 or 4 up but had to settle for 1-1 after the Fonz scored a good finish (after missing a simple header) and Man U equalised towards the end of the half.
The second half was fantastic stuff with Villa taking the lead twice through the Fonz and Clark on 86 mis only for a Roome slip to let in Diouf for the usual last gasp equaliser.
MOTM was Weimann and even though he did not score he was always dangerous.

I forgot about it and only caught the last half hour.
I have to admit Man U looked the better side during that period, but the MUTV commentators agreed we were very unlucky to lose.
It’s always horrible to lose on Pens, isn’t it?
Never mind, the lads have done well, 3 consecutive Southern titles is something to be proud of.
Cheers for the link bud.
