A number of Aston Villa fans have lauded Carney Chukwuemeka’s latest display for the Villans’ Under-18s.

The 17-year-old registered two goals and two assists as Villa’s youngsters ran out 9-0 winners over Burton’s U18s at Villa Park in the last 16 of the FA Youth Cup.

Chukwuemeka helped Villa break the deadlock on seven minutes, his shot credited as an own goal after taking a big deflection en route to the back of the net.

Aaron Ramsey and Louie Barry then struck to put the hosts three up inside the opening 11 minutes.

The floodgates had well and truly opened as Chukwuemeka then netted twice and Barry added another for a 6-0 half-time lead.

Brad Young got Villa’s seventh from the spot after Barry was hauled down in the box, and the former Barcelona youngster then completed his hat-trick with a free kick.

Seb Revan rounded off the scoring with three minutes remaining, making the most of a defensive mix-up in the Brewers back line for the home side’s ninth.

Chukwuemeka has looked a cut above at age level, starring for the Under-23s despite not turning 18 until October, and has even made the senior matchday squad once this season.

Needless to say, plenty of Villa fans are excited to see how the midfielder will progress in the coming years:
