Aston Villa and Sheffield United will meet again in the Premier League next season.
Sheffield United fans love the fact that Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish was full of praise for them at Wembley yesterday.
Wilder was working as a pundit for Sky during the play off final, and at full-time Villa’s star man could be heard telling the Sheffield United boss that his side ‘were the best they’ve played’ this season.
Grealish has actually taken on board a fair amount of criticism from Sheffield United fans over the course of the campaign.
But the Villa playmaker was getting plenty of plaudits for his actions yesterday.
Sheffield United and Villa will meet again next season now, with both sides earning promotion this term.
Wilder’s men finished in second place in the Championship table, and defied the odds to go up.
Villa, on the other hand, had a more nerve-wracking route back to the top flight – with a 2-1 victory over Derby County yesterday booking them a spot in the Premier League.
