# Aston Villa: Fans react to Chukwuemeka footage

**Plenty of Aston Villa fans have been reacting to footage regarding youngster Carney Chukwuemeka on social media.**

Chukwuemeka, who was [attracting interest from Bayern Munich and Juventus just last month](https://talksport.com/football/829015/aston-villa-carney-chukwuemeka-bayern-munich-juventus-england-starlet/), scored on his debut for [England’s Under-18 side in a friendly against Wales on Monday](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-fans-footage-emerges-20283443).

The 17-year-old picked the ball up from just over the halfway line and exchanged a give-and-go with a teammate before calmly slotting past the goalkeeper.

Fellow Villa youngsters Louie Barry and Aaron Ramsey also [featured](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-fans-footage-emerges-20283443) against Wales for the Three Lions.
