Paul McGrath has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Aston Villa’s win against Derby County at Villa Park in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Villa have got the better of Derby at home, with Conor Hourihane scoring twice for the Villans, and Tammy Abraham and Jack Grealish finding the target once each for the Villans.

Villa legend McGrath was following the match, and he has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the win for Dean Smith’s side.

The former Republic of Ireland international has welcomed back star attacking midfielder Jack Grealish to the team following his spell on the sidelines.

McGrath has also said on Twitter that 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international midfielder Hourihane and his 35-year-old teammate Glenn Whelan were brilliant.
