Forest score after 11 minutes to put Villa on the back foot, but the hostsโ quality wins out, and hit a quick equaliser before they score again to lead by half-time, with the result and destination of the trophy confirmed without doubt in the second half. Itโs Villaโs third successive Youth Cup final and second win in three seasons.
