Aston Villa's Under-18s produced a dominant display at Villa Park to beat Burton Albion 9-0 and advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup. 

Sean Verity's side will now travel to face Newcastle United in the last-eight, having scored 12 goals without reply in the last two rounds of the competition.

Carney Chukwuemeka forced an own goal for the opener before adding two of his own, with Aaron Ramsey, Louie Barry (3), Brad Young and Seb Revan also on target.

The Young Lions made an electric start, with the first three goals coming inside the opening 11 minutes of the tie. 

Chukwuemeka saw an effort deflected past Greg Lewis in the Burton goal, before Ramsey continued his fine goalscoring form just a minute later.

Barry then added the third with a deflected strike, with both Chukwuemeka and Ramsey going close to extending the lead before the half-hour mark. 

Chukwuemeka did finally get himself on the scoresheet on 32 minutes and Barry made it 5-0 by finishing a beautiful flowing move that progressed down the right-hand side. 

There was still time to make it six before the break, as Chukwuemeka secured his brace with a curling effort into the corner of the net.

Villa had to be patient in their pursuit of more goals after the break, but Young took his chance from the penalty spot after Ramsey was fouled before he could get a shot away from inside the penalty area. 

Arjan Raikhy was excellent again at the base of midfield and he went close soon after, before Young was denied his brace by Lewis. 

Barry continued to look threatening throughout the second period and when his hat-trick came, it was well worth the wait.

After a foul outside the box, the forward stepped up and curled a superb free-kick into the far corner to make it 8-0 and secure the matchball.

The home side were lethal in front of goal but Filip Marschall and his back-line were faultless throughout and deserve credit, with Revan putting the icing on the cake by getting forward to complete the scoring in the closing stages.
