Jack Grealish marked his Aston Villa return in stunning fashion.

Dean Smith’s side obliterated Derby County at Villa Park today and led 4-0 at half time.

Two goals from Conor Hourihane, either side of Tammy Abraham’s second, put Aston Villa into a very commanding position.

Grealish then killed the game as a contest on 45 minutes – and in stunning fashion.

Directly from a Glenn Whelan corner, the 23-year-old unleashed a thunderous volley from the edge of the penalty box which gave Scott Carson absolutely no chance.

The Aston Villa midfielder has previous for scoring world-class volleys, but this might be the pick of the bunch.

And here is how Gary Lineker reacted to the goal on Twitter:

Even more impressive, it was Grealish’s first game in nearly three months due to a shin injury.

His return clearly lifted the Villans in a football sense, but also their morale.
