Kofi Poyser was the hat-trick hero as Villa under-18's cruised to a ramapant win against Reading.
Poyser's super show was accompanied by goals from Ryan Simmonds, Richard Blythe and Andras Stieber helping Villa's young lions to run out 6-0 winners.
The Claret and Blue academy side had lost their last two games but they showed a no fear attitude against The Royals which will win them plenty of admirers.
Poyser is certainly showing some real promise and a word must also go to Simmonds, who has now netted six goals and been a real consistent performer so far this term.
