Ajani Burchall and his Aston Villa Under 18 teammates fell to a 4-1 loss at Fulham in the Under-18 Premier League South.
Aston Villa leveled matters midway through the first half courtesy of Tommi O’Reilly’s fine strike but duly found themselves 2-1 down at the interval.
Two second-half goals from Olly Sanderson at Motspur Park ensured unbeaten Fulham wrapped up a third successive victory at the start of the new season.
The defeat leaves Aston Villa with three points from their first three matches, with a home clash against Crystal Palace next up following the international break.
