Man City beaten by Aston Villa in FA Youth Cup final
Manchester City's under-18s side missed out on winning the FA Youth Cup for a second successive season after being beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa in Monday's final.
City have already won the league title this season and made the perfect start as Matty Warhurst converted in the second minute, but Villa provided a fine response.
TJ Carroll levelled just two minutes later, before goals from Cole Brannigan and Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba gave Villa a fifth triumph in the competition.
City play their final game of the regular Premier League Under-18 North campaign with a trip to Newcastle on Saturday (kick-off 10:30 BST).
Villa, meanwhile, host Leicester on Thursday and then Arsenal on Sunday in their section.
