Ever competed against your parents? Ashley Young defeats young son in FA Cup

Could you take on and beat your parents in a sporting contest?

That's what what 18-year-old Tyler Young hoped to do when his side, Peterborough, played Everton - the team his dad Ashley Young plays for - in the FA Cup third round.

But in this dad and lad game, it was the elder who got the better of things, with Ashley's Everton beating Tyler's Peterborough 2-0.

The pair were seen embracing after the final whistle, as Dad comforted his son.

Let us know if you've ever faced your parents at anything in the comments below.

Ahead of the game, Young senior, who won the Premier League trophy with Manchester United earlier in his career, said facing his son in a competitive match would top anything he's ever achieved in the game.

Speaking to the BBC, Tyler agreed it will be the biggest moment for his dad: "Well, it probably is the biggest moment in his career, because I'm quite a special person to him."

Speaking together ahead of the match, his dad, 39-year-old Ashley said: "If anyone said to me, from when I was a youngster, obviously, the career I've had, it's not been too bad, the trophies I've won, but to be able to hopefully get the chance to play against my son, I think just eclipses all that."

Asked about the prospect of facing each other on the pitch, Tyler says the competitiveness between father and son will be there to see.

"We're very competitive - so now I can show that I'm actually beating him all the time."
