Aston Villa 1-1 Stoke City

Stoke controlled inside four minutes on the clock through a 16-year-old Oliver Shenton before Callum Robinson made it 1-1 draw on 36 minutes after converting a cross from player Michael Drennan. Shenton was the one who beat Villa goalkeeper Craig Hill with a sidetracked strike from outside the box.

In the reverse match of Aston Villa's 1-0 victory at Stoke City on the opening day of the Barclays Premier League campaign, both clubs of Under-21 sides shared the points in a hard-fought and curtain-raiser way for the Barclays Under-21 Premier League season at Bodymoor Heath.

Much of Villa's warning was from an impressive winger Jack Grealish; he twice went close in the early stages and gave troubles to the Potters with his trickery. The 18-year-old player lined up with former England international Joe Cole and Denmark defender Jores Okore.
