Tommi O'Reilly proud to see action for Aston Villa against Molde

Tommi O'Reilly was proud of his senior call for Aston Villa yesterday.

O'Reilly is an 18-year-old attacking midfielder who made his bow for Steven Gerrard's men in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Molde at Villa Park on Saturday.

Goals from Jacob Ramsey, John McGinn and Ollie Watkins in the first half wrapped up the game for the hosts, with Kristoffer Haugen replying for the visitors.

O'Reilly was also included, coming off the substitute's bench.

He is one of two youngsters promoted to the first-team group, with 16-year-old Jayden Barber also getting the call.

O'Reilly took to social media to comment on his appearance in the friendly.

"Good to get some minutes with the first team today," O'Reilly wrote on Twitter along with a picture of him in action in B6.
