U18s: Brentford 0-5 Aston Villa

Aston Villa wrapped up an impressive 5-0 victory at Brentford in the Under-18 Premier League South on Saturday.

The Young Lions registered five different goalscorers against the Bees to clinch all three points in style in west London.

Erin Orebowale and Josh Blake fired Villa into a 2-0 lead at the break, before Jahmi Kellyman, George Thomas and Dodzi Sanchez found the net in the second half to complete a five-star performance.

The Villans, having now clinched back-to-back wins, continued their unbeaten start to the U18 league season and boast eight points from their opening four matches.

Orebowale was denied by Brentford goalkeeper Felix Lyon on three occasions inside the opening stages, but he didn’t have to wait long for his opener as he poked home a throughball from Tay’veon Smithen after 19 minutes.

Blake doubled Villa’s advantage just after the half-hour mark, finding the net from inside the area after the hosts had only half-cleared Olly Lloyd’s free-kick and Lennon Moss headed back into the danger zone.

Kellyman struck a post following some fancy footwork just before the break, yet he got his name on the scoresheet soon after the restart as he rounded ‘keeper Lyon to slot home, coming after Coran Madden had hit the woodwork at the other end moments earlier.

Substitute Thomas found the net with a low angled finish to make it 4-0 in the 73^rd minute, Villa ‘keeper Theo Houston subsequently making a smart stop to preserve his clean sheet.

And it was left for sub Sanchez to wrap up the scoring in the second minute of added time, converting a clearance from Curtis Mitchell.
