Chelsea youngster Aina provided his outrageous finish in an Under-21 match against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues stormed into a 2-0 lead before their young defender, 19, scored from inside his own half.

Eat your heart out David Beckham, and this was from a defender.

Not to be out-done, Liverpool's Ben Woodburn displayed a different set of skills as he broke the deadlock for Liverpool against Cardiff City in the FA Youth Cup, Under-18s level.

 

Latching on to Adam Phillips’ pin-point 50-yard pass, Woodburn took the ball on his chest before expertly unleashing a volley over the stranded keeper.

 

At just 16 years-old the Reds youngster has already been compared to Arsenal and Welsh ace Aaron Ramsey, and it's easy to see why.

Goal 2

Liverpool Under-18 manager Neil Critchley was quick to heap praise on his midfielder.

“That moment tonight was a moment of brilliance. To take that on your chest over your shoulder, especially when there’s a bit of wind around, and hook it over your shoulder first time was an unbelievable piece of skill," Crichley said to the Liverpool Echo.
