Key moments

73'3 - 1John Victor is stranded way out of his goal after his team loses possession and John McGinn (Aston Villa) has the simplest of tasks to shoot the ball into an empty net from distance. It’s now 3:1.

61'2 - 1GOAL - 2:1! Dilane Bakwa found Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham) inside the box, he spotted goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez off his line and chipped the ball into the net. What a cheeky lob!

49'2 - 0Goal! Matty Cash plays a simple square pass into the feet of John McGinn (Aston Villa) in the box, who composes himself and lashes the ball into the middle of the goal. 2:0.

45+1'1 - 0Brilliant finish! Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) perfectly collected a pass on the edge of the penalty area from Morgan Rogers, then produced a nice strike into the top left corner. The score is 1:0.
