Analysis
Aston Villa U23s' four-match winning streak was halted by Brighton & Hove Albion U23s on Monday night, as the Young Lions missed the chance to return to the summing of Premier League 2 Division 2.
Second-half goals from Tyler Forbes, James Tilley and Henrik Bjordal sealed all three points and a 3-0 win for the Seagulls.
In their first match without on-loan captain Easah Suliman, and with Callum O'Hare also absent, Villa struggled to replicate the form of recent months.
Focus now switches to next week, where they take on Ipswich Town U23s for a chance to make it through to the knockout stages of the Premier League Cup.
Line-up
VILLA: Sarkic; Borg, Bedeau, Finnerty, Clark; Blackett-Taylor, Doyle-Hayes, Clarke, Abdo, Prosser; Hepburn-Murphy. Subs: Johansson, Walker, Brunt, Ramsey, Knibbs.
