Aston Villa goalscorer Barry grateful to Liverpool's Fabinho for giving him back his shirt!

Aston Villa whiz Louie Barry thanked Liverpool ace Fabinho for giving him back his shirt on Friday night.

Teenager Barry stuck Villa's goal in Liverpool's FA Cup win, cancelling out Sadio Mane's early opener.

Liverpool went on to take control of the tie, adding three goals without reply in the second half, courtesy of Gini Wijnaldum, Mane and Mohamed Salah.

Nonetheless, it was a night to remember for 17-year-old Barry and his young team-mates.

At the final whistle, Barry excitedly swapped shirts with Fabinho - only to be reminded by a member of the Villa backroom staff that he might want to hold on to his own jersey for posterity.

Barry then had to chase and catch up with Fabinho in the tunnel and explained the situation.

The Liverpool man was quite happy to return the shirt, while letting him keep his as well.

Asked about it afterwards, Barry told BT Sport: "I nearly did (give my shirt away) - but I remembered it was my debut shirt.

"Credit to Fabinho, I got (his) shirt as well, so I've got both of them."
