It's totally different being a very good young player with a bunch of first-team players against a team like Liverpool because they kind of protect you but they are all out there on their own.
It's like it took them a few minutes to calm down. The keeper has made some really important stops to keep them in the game but from then on they have looked settled and have grown into the game.
The goal is one of them. It's quite an emotional moment. He celebrated with his team and his heart.

I wonder if any of these Aston Villa players have a bedtime. This one would go to extra time as things stand.

The Adama Traore that turned up at Aston Villa and Middlesbrough was a hugely frustrating player for managers.
He is slowly finding his feet again. He is getting to the phase in his career where he is realising what is important. It is not always about going past players, it is about your productivity and scoring more goals will be on his list.

England Under-17 striker Louie Barry actually began his footballing career at West Midlands rivals West Brom before moving to Barcelona's famed academy in 2019 after a decade with the Baggies.
When Barry signed for Barca, the club described him as "one of the best young players in English football".
Villa came calling in January last year and paid the Catalan giants £880,000 for him - Barry has been a hit for the academy squads since joining.
The forward has scored six goals so far at academy level and has now scored his first at senior level.
