On-loan Aston Villa youngster Brad Young netted twice for Carlisle United against Everton's under-21s on Tuesday evening, and a number of Villa supporters have heaped praise on the 18-year-old on social media.

Young, who helped Villa lift the FA Youth Cup last season, was among a number of academy players sent out on loan over the summer to gain some first-team experience.

He is yet to start a League Two game for Carlisle, but the forward staked his claim to manager Chris Beech with a brace in a 2-0 win in the EFL Trophy during the week. The Villa loanee proved to be the difference at Brunton Park with a goal in each half, taking Carlisle to the top of Group A.

Villa fans react

Footage of Young’s second goal of the evening was shared on Twitter by Carlisle during their live commentary of the game. These Villa fans were quick to react to the forward’s strike, with many heaping praise on the youngster.
