Aston Villa captured the FA Youth Cup for a fifth time following victory against Manchester City on Monday.

The club's Under-18 side were backed by a huge crowd at Villa Park as they claimed a 3-1 win in the final.

It's the fifth time that Villa have won the prestigious trophy, emulating the success of previous triumphs in 1972, 1980, 2002 and 2021.

Jimmy Shan's squad overcame Accrington Stanley (6-0), Newcastle United (4-0), Bristol City (3-2), Plymouth Argyle (3-0) and Manchester United (1-1 (3-1 on pens)) to reach the showpiece final.

Congratulations to the players and staff involved!
