AdminTyrone Mings and Matty Cash have heaped praise on an Aston Villa youngster after the 17-year-old made history during the club’s UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The teenager became the youngest-ever goalscorer in UEFA Super Cup history when he found the net against the Champions League holders, providing a huge moment of personal achievement despite Villa ultimately falling short in a dramatic contest.
Brian Madjo’s composed finish under pressure highlighted the confidence Villa have placed in their academy players, with the youngster showing he was not overawed by the occasion or the quality of opposition.
For Mings and Cash, the performance was another encouraging sign of the talent emerging within Unai Emery’s squad.
Both experienced defenders were quick to recognise the youngster’s contribution and the significance of his record-breaking goal.
Although the result was disappointing for Villa, the historic strike offered a major positive to take from the night.
Scoring on such a prestigious European stage against PSG will provide the teenager with valuable experience as he continues his development.
Villa will now hope Madjo can build on the landmark moment and establish himself further around the first-team setup.
His record-breaking strike has already placed his name in the club’s history, while the praise from Mings and Cash underlines the impression he made on his senior teammates.
