Former Inter man Ashley Young was on target for Aston Villa, who beat Salernitana 3-1 in a friendly this afternoon.

The game was hastily-arranged, because originally Sevilla were meant to play at Villa Park in Birmingham, but pulled out due to COVID cases in the squad.

Newly-promoted Salernitana, who are in their first Serie A campaign in over 20 years, stepped in at the last minute.

The Granata had actually taken the lead on 20 minutes with former Chievo midfielder Joel Obi redirecting a knocked-down free kick.

Nadir Zortea almost grabbed another for the Italians on the counter-attack, but turned off target.

However, Danny Ings equalised, then Anwar El Ghazi converted a penalty before ex-Inter wing-back Young scored to complete the 3-1 result.
