Young was first on the scene after Bouma went down holding his right leg after a clash with Odense's Senegal-born striker Baye Djiby Faye. And given Bouma's right ankle was bending the wrong way, it is little wonder Young wheeled away with his head in his hands, scarcely able to believe what he had just witnessed.

"It was sad to see him get injured like that," said the England international.

"I was first on the scene and it was fairly obvious it was a nasty one.

"But the medical staff got on the pitch pretty quickly and hopefully Wilfred has a pretty speedy recovery."

While the talk around Villa all summer has surrounded one England international in Gareth Barry, Young will get his fair share of attention too judging by his brilliant winner against the Danes.

Although he was given a bit too much room by the Odense defence, once he got into his stride there was no stopping Young and his finish - smashed into the top corner from the edge of the area - will impress Fabio Capello when the England manager gets to see it.

"It was nice to get the goal," said Young in somewhat understated fashion.

"It was important for us to get the win and now we are looking forward to the draw on Friday."
