Semi-Final Second Leg

Sheffield United have secured their place in The FA Youth Cup Final, after a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Bramall Lane in the second leg of the Semi-Final.
It is the first time the Yorkshire side have reached The Final of this competition and they will face opposition from Chelsea or Manchester United in the two-legged Final.
John Pemberton's side held a narrow 1-0 win from the first leg at Villa Park last month and it was captain Elliott Whitehouse who was the hero on Wednesday as he netted a brace to take the Blades into The Final.
Unfortunately for Whitehouse, his evening was tarnished in the second half when he received a red card after picking up a second yellow card.
The first leg of the other Semi-Final between Chelsea and Manchester United takes place at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
