Villa youngster Burke proud to be NextGen matchwinner

Aston Villa striker Graham Burke was proud of his two penalties in their NextGen final victory over Chelsea.

Burke - who finished as the joint top NextGen goalscorer along with Chelsea's Islam Feruz - held his nerve to convert two crucial penalties in Monday's final.

"It is the best feeling ever," said Burke to Villa's website.

"What an achievement for us to come out here and win the tournament.

"I actually can't describe what it means to win the NextGen, a European championship."
