Aston Villa were beaten 2-0 by Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has told the Birmingham Mail that Wolverhampton Wanderers must have some youngsters who could be playing in their first-team.

Wolves currently lead the way in the Championship, and look to have one of the strongest squads in the division.

But Bruce feels that Wolves should be promoting more prospects into their first-team, as they currently have a strong foreign contingent.

“Wolves’ team last week was 80 per-cent foreign. In the Championship,” Bruce said.

“Surely you are not telling me there aren’t some young players who couldn’t play?

“Well we’ve proved there is.

“With Josh and Sam, Keinan and O’Hare and people like that, we have showed (they are good enough).”

Wolves took on Villa last week, and their cosmopolitan squad was able to dispatch with Bruce’s men comfortably.

Wolves won 2-0 against the claret and blues at Molineux, with Diogo Jota and Leo Bonatini getting on the scoresheet.

Wolves backed that victory up this weekend, when they beat Preston North End to put further distance between themselves and the rest of the promotion chasers.

Villa also got back to winning ways on Saturday, as they picked up a credible victory over Fulham at Villa Park.
