Aston Villa U21 1-2 Leeds United U21 highlights: Perkins double cancels out penalty miss

78’

ON: McCalmont

OFF: Jenkins

Perkins back on the field after the head clash, too.

72’ Jack Jenkins booked for a tug on Iroegbunam

68’

ON: McGurk

OFF: Sutcliffe

GOOOOOALLLLL 2-1 PERKINS

67’ Again, it’s the left foot of Perkins who strikes for Leeds. Jenkins finds Perkins in a pocket of space just outside the area, he jinks past one and takes a moment to steady himself and pick his spot in the bottom right hand corner. First goal demonstrated power; second one was all about poise and placement.

66’ Joseph tries to play in Allen and Perkins but his through ball is intercepted.

63’ Villa with the lion’s share of possession since the restart but not doing a great deal with it. Leeds’ pressing from the front disturbing the Villans’ attempts at build-up

58’

ON: O’Reilly

OFF: Swinkels

58’

ON: Debayo

OFF: Mullen

52' Nasty looking clash of heads between Jeremiah Mullen and a Villa player. Corner played in to the back post where Mullen has peeled away. Both players immediately to the floor. Fingers crossed just superficial damage.

51’ Good forwards passing from Leeds. Gyabi into Allen who finds Sutcliffe in space down the right flank. Cross blocked in the end.
