Match Report:
Villa were unable to stop Leicester City in their Under-18 Premier League encounter as missed chances cost them at Bodymoor Heath.
The visitors took the lead via Will Daniels after nine minutes before Lorenz Hutchinson’s first goal gave the Foxes a two-goal cushion at half-time.
He struck twice more after the restart to complete his hat-trick and seal all three points for his side.
Jahmi Kellyman hit the crossbar twice, Jack McGrath saw an effort cleared off the line, and Finlay Barnard had a goal disallowed as Villa were left frustrated on home turf. 
It leaves Richard Beale’s Villans with three points from their opening three league fixtures heading to Norwich City next weekend.
Leicester made the breakthrough on their first meaningful foray forward, working the ball down the right-hand side before moving play across the edge of the box to the waiting Daniels.
The left-back ran onto the ball and lashed a shot across goal, beyond the reach of Villa’s keeper Owen Asemota.
A battling display from the hosts failed to yield a clear-cut chance before a clinical counter-attack from their opponents saw the lead extended after 36 minutes.
Riley Carr embarked on a marauding 70-yard run into the Villa box before setting up Hutchinson for a simple finish.
Asemota made a strong save to keep it at 2-0, while at the other end, Kellyman clattered the crossbar with a fierce drive just before the break.
The Villa winger was frustrated again at the start of the second half when he sent a looping shot against the bar.
McGrath saw a goalbound strike cleared off the line by a covering defender, and Barnard had a goal ruled out as the home side continued to search for a way back into the contest.
Those missed chances cost Villa dearly when Hutchinson cut inside on his left foot and drilled an effort into the bottom corner to make it 3-0 on 67 minutes.
And just seven minutes later, the Leicester striker completed his treble when he tapped in a cross following a sweeping move.
