Aston Villa had to come from behind for the second game in a row as they beat Rotherham 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Tyrone Mings has insisted on Twitter that he will ‘learn’ from his sending off as he lauded his Aston Villa’s teammates for their ‘incredible’ 2-1 win against Rotherham on Wednesday night.

The Bournemouth loanee was shown a second yellow in the first half for handling the ball in the penalty area with Will Valulks netting the spot-kick – Earlier on in the half Tammy Abraham saw his penalty saved at 0-0.

Nonetheless, Villa were on the backfoot but after the break, they turned on the heat with Jonathan Kodjia equalising after another penalty was awarded and Jack Grealish scoring a stunning team goal.

Here is Mings sending a message to the Villa supporters on his personal Twitter account after that dramatic comeback from Smith’s side:

It has been an unbelieve turnaround from Villa in these last six weeks because at the end of February, following their home defeat to West Brom, they looked down and out in the promotion race.

But seven wins on the bounce, including beating the likes of Derby, Birmingham, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday has seen them climb up the table in a rapid fashion.

Despite his sending off at the New York Stadium, Mings has played a huge part in that run and has now become a key member of this promotion-chasing side.

At the weekend, Villa, who are sitting in fifth place, host sixth-placed Bristol City in what is expected to be a mouthwatering contest in the race for a top-six finish.
