# Villa fans drool over Barry’s display for England U17s

Aston Villa’s Louie Barry[scored one and assisted another](https://www.thefa.com/news/2020/feb/08/080220mu17svrussia) as England’s Under-17 side secured a 4-2 victory over Russia in Marbella.

The youngsters are preparing for their UEFA U17 Euro elite round qualifiers and a clip of Barry’s assist and goal has had almost 17,000 views on Twitter.

Barry returned to English football last month as he [signed a deal with Villa](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51227815) from Spanish giants Barcelona for around €1m.

The teenager only joined the [Catalan side on a three-year contract](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48950688) last summer from West Bromwich Albion.

Despite[netting on his debut](https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/news/1474255/louie-barry-scores-first-goal-on-debut-start-for-fc-barcelona-u19a-side) for Barcelona, Barry struggled for playing time for their Under-19 team and failed to get to grips with the big move to the La Liga club.

Villa fans are clearly excited about the youngster’s potential as [one fan account posted a video](https://twitter.com/astonforza/status/1226277793232773122) of his goal and assist. Many Villa fans took to Twitter to praise the teenager’s attacking contribution in the match, with some feeling he is already better than first-team player Anwar El Ghazi and others simply excited for his future at the club.
