Kadan Young’s late winner helped Villa past Charlton Athletic 3-2 in the semi-final to set up the clash against Spurs.

Nash is proud of the team effort that’s brought Villa to the final and within reach of potentially winning a trophy.

He said: “We’re delighted with them, it’s not easy to get there.

“Ourselves and Spurs are the last two standing. What’s really pleased me in many respects is how many players have been involved in the cup run.

“It’s our sixth game and everyone in the squad has been involved and played their part in the five games so far. Players and staff, it’s very much a team effort.

“There have been some tough games and it’s been a tough journey, so they’ve done really well to get there.”
