GALLERY: Young Lions in PL2 action

Aston Villa’s Under-21s were undone 4-0 by Chelsea at Bodymoor Heath on Monday night.

Dujuan Richards’ brace put the visitors in control of the Premier League 2 encounter, but Villa continued to battle throughout and went close on several occasions.

Yet Deivid Washington ended any hopes of a fightback when he added the visitors’ third goal on the counter-attack.

And despite pressing further for deserved reward, Villa were downed when Chelsea made it four, again on the counter, in injury time.
