Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Teo Kurtaran scored for Tamworth but Aston Villa U21 came from behind to win 2-1 in a Club Friendly, as Harvey Sayer's composed display earned a 7.21 rating for the losing side. The non-competitive fixture offered little beyond match fitness for either squad, with Tamworth's early lead swiftly erased after the break.

The turning point arrived four minutes into the second half, when Aston Villa U21 levelled through an unassisted strike in the 49th minute, cancelling out Kurtaran's 21st-minute opener for the hosts. The visitors then completed the turnaround in the 80th minute with another unassisted goal, punishing Tamworth's failure to build on their lead after a first half they had largely controlled.

Possession was dead even at 50% each, but Tamworth dominated the set-piece battle with seven corners to Aston Villa U21's one, suggesting they created more territorial pressure without converting it into goals. Harvey Sayer stood out for Tamworth with a team-high 7.21 rating despite not scoring, anchoring their defensive effort from an unspecified position. No further fixtures are scheduled for either side.
