Aston Villa’s under-21s cruise through Papa John's Trophy group
Villa’s under-21s came from behind against MK Dons to progress to the knockout stages of the Papa John’s Trophy with three wins from three group stage matches.
Keinan Davis gave Villa an early lead before the Dons turned the match around with goals from Troy Parrott and Max Watters. But Cameron Archer equalised on the stroke of half-time before Villa’s youngsters took charge of the second half at Stadium MK.
Aaron Ramsey restored Villa’s lead before Archer wrapped things with his second goal in the final minute of the match.
The win secured Villa’s place at the top of Group K – and they will now await to see who they face in the next round.
