Jack Grealish took to Twitter last night to post a three-word reaction to Louie Barry’s incredible goal against Liverpool in the FA Cup.
The 17-year-old raced past Rhys Williams in the 41st minute before slotting beyond Caoimhin Kelleher in confident fashion.
It was a remarkable moment for the teenager, and for the rest of his teammates as they managed to break down the Premier League champions.
After watching Barry slot home, Grealish tweeted the following.
Of course, the circumstances were unusual for the Villans last night.
There wasn’t a first-team player in sight due to a COVID-19 outbreak forcing the closure of Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training centre.
Rather than forfeit the game, Villa fielded their academy prospects with Under-23 coach Mark Delaney overseeing proceedings from the dugout.
Despite technically crashing out of the FA Cup, Villa’s youngsters should be bursting with pride .
They absolutely didn’t let anyone down, and more than held their own in the first half.
The result wasn’t even an embarrassing one.
It is worth remembering that Liverpool recently beat Wolves 4-0 in the Premier League while basically using the same starting XI.
To further emphasise that point, even Crystal Palace lost 7-0, and they fielded a team of experienced internationals instead of academy kids.
