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