Aston Villa’s Abraham lauds Steer’s ‘terrific performance’ in Championship playoff win

Tammy Abraham has praised Aston Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer following his impressive performance in their 4-3 penalty shoot-out win against West Bromwich Albion in the second leg of their Championship playoff game on Tuesday.

The Claret and Blues headed into the encounter on the back of a 2-1 advantage but failed to protect their lead.

Craig Dawson’s 29th-minute effort at the Hawthorns ensured that the Baggies forced the game into a penalty shoot-out, after a 2-2 aggregate score.
