Aston Villa 2 Derby 1 – manager reaction
Dean Smith told Sky Sports: “They’re a terrific bunch of lads. From the day I went in there working with them everyday. They take on different ideas, they’re sponges, they work hard and those last 15 minutes was the longest I’ve ever had.
“We’re playing Stoke away, John McGinn was suspended and Grealish was out. Too many hands went up and I gave them a roasting.
“From that moment on they’ve been brilliant. But I wouldn’t just put it down to that. We’ve got Jack back since then ,Tuanzebe came back. We had some great players who missed big chunks of the season.
“It somebody had told me at the end of February I’d be standing here as a Premier League manager I’d have said 'you’re crackers'. But we made history by winning ten games on the spin.”
CHAMPIONS!!
Jack Grealish got a nasty gash on his eyebrow while lifting the trophy!
Hopefully that won't stop him celebrating tonight, I'm sure it won't.
More reaction from the VIlla skipper: “At the start of the season I didn’t think I was going to be here, so to come here as captain at Wembley is a dream come true.
“I can’t explain to you. About 60 of my family are here today. A Villa fan makes the kits, a Villa fan managing the club and a Villa fan as the captain. It’s the perfect scenario.”
What a job this man has done!
Aston Villa back in the top-flight and they'll be celebrating that fact tonight!

Villa goalscorer Anwar El Ghazi: “We know and felt the pressure.
“This club has to be in the Premier League and it deserves to be there.”

Villa captain Jack Grealish told Sky Sports: “I’m speechless.
“It was such a hard game going up against a great team. We knew it was hard and it would go down to the wire.
“Like I said in my last ten interviews when I look around and I’ve John McGinn, Tammy and Anwar [El Ghazi] I feel like we can beat anyone. I can’t describe how happy I am.
“We all know where this club belongs. I’ve stayed here, we’ve worked hard and we’re finally here now.”
Aston Villa are back in the Premier League!
Villa have ended their three-year top-flight exile thanks to those goals from Anwar El Ghazi and John McGinn.
