The story in brief
- Aston Villa's Under-18s lost 2-0 at West Bromwich Albion, their first defeat of the season.
- Danyal Iqbal punished a stray goalkeeper pass on 26 minutes, before Harry French doubled the lead just after the hour.
- Reuben Saa's red card left the hosts with ten men for the final nine minutes, yet Villa could not respond.
Villa's unbeaten start ended in a derby they never quite got going in.
