Villa winger Albrighton stars in England victory over Italy

Aston Villa winger Marc Albrighton continued his impressive season with a starring role in England U20's 2-0 victory over Italy.

The winger set up England's first goal for his Villa club mate Ciaran Clark in the victory at Loftus Road. Manchester City's Daniel Sturridge got the second for the Young Lions.

Albrighton was pleased to experience the England set-up and was particularly delighted to set up his Villa team mate.

"It's always an honour to represent your country," he said. "It was a really good experience for me and I enjoyed the game.

"We deserved to win and it was nice to set up the goal for Ciaran."
