Aston Villa supporters gave their Goal of the Season award to Jack Grealish.

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith has suggested at his latest press conference, which was broadcast on his side’s official Youtube channel, that his side’s supporters gave Goal of the Season to the wrong man.

Villa fans voted Jack Grealish’s strike against Rotherham United as their best goal of the campaign.

But Smith feels that McGinn’s volley from long-range against Sheffield Wednesday was the best goal scored by the claret and blues this term.

“No, it wouldn’t,” Smith said, when asked if Grealish’s goal would’ve been his goal of the season.

“But it was voted for by our supporters, it was a very good goal. I know Jack went with the Hutton one against Birmingham City, which would be in my top two.

“But I think mine would be John McGinn’s volley against Sheffield Wednesday, even though I wasn’t there for that I thought it was fantastic technique.”

McGinn may have been disappointed to miss out on that accolade, but he still did very well at Villa’s end of season awards night.

The Scottish midfielder won both Players and Fans Player of the Season in his first year at Villa Park.

McGinn has been a key player for Smith’s side all season, but he won’t play in Villa’s match tomorrow, which comes against Norwich City.

McGinn is on 14 yellow cards, and Smith does not want to risk him being suspended for the play offs.
