GALLERY: Young Lions face Stoke at Bodymoor

Aston Villa's Under-23s played out a seven-goal thriller at Bodymoor Heath on Friday night, but Stoke City came out on top to take three Premier League 2 points. 

Despite the result, there were plenty of positives for Mark Delaney's side from an attacking point of view especially, with goals coming from Kaine Kesler and Aaron Ramsey (2).
