'I thought I was gone 10 months ago' - Grealish speechless after Aston Villa's Championship play-off win

The attacking midfielder was delighted to captain his side back to the Premier League even though he came close to leaving at the start of the season

Jack Grealish says the season turned out perfectly after captaining Aston Villa to a Championship play-off final win less than a year after he came close to leaving the club.

Villa beat Derby 2-1 at Wembley on Monday to seal their return to the Premier League, ending their three-year absence from the top-flight and putting to rest their heartbreak from a year ago, when they fell to Fulham at the same stage.
