Villa's academy side staged a superb fightback to see off Portsmouth at Bodymoor Heath.
Dutch defender-come-striker Arsenio Halfhuid scored the winner after Samir Carruthers had cancelled out Nadir Ciftci's first half effort for Pompey.
Halfhuid's strike was his ninth of the season and it helped the Young Lions add another win in what is turning out to be another successful season.
Another boost for coach Tony McAndrew was the return of young Swiss star Benjamin Siegrist, who had been out of action for several weeks with a fractured shin.
Siegrist replaced Calum Barrett with 30 minutes to go to give his side a welcome boost.
