U18s: Leeds United 3-3 Aston Villa

All six goals were scored in the final 30 minutes as Aston Villa began their Under-18 Premier League Cup campaign with a draw against Leeds United at Thorp Arch.

After Joe Bhaskaran scored the opener on the hour mark, Daniel Adediran scored a five-minute hat-trick to put the visitors in command.

Logan White pulled one back to set up a tense finale and then snatched a point for his side with an equaliser in the third minute of stoppage time.

The result represents a third consecutive draw to begin the campaign for Richard Beale's team. 

On the stroke of 60 minutes, United took the lead in Yorkshire with a well-worked move.

The hosts sprung an attack down the right before pulling the ball back to the waiting Bhaskaran on the edge of the box, with the midfielder steering a first-time shot past Theo Houston.

Villa hit back in the 75^th minute as Adediran fought his way into the box and slotted an effort beyond Oliver Wood.

The forward had his second just a minute later when he clinically finished off a move that started with goalkeeper Houston.

Adediran skipped away from a defender and netted from a tight angle to complete his quickfire treble as the Young Lions looked to have won all three points.

But they hadn’t accounted for White, who saw a deflected effort drift in before stabbing home a leveller in the final seconds of the match.
