The Aston Villa cult hero left Villa Park in the summer after helping Dean Smith’s Villans get to the Premier League, and is now at the City Ground.
A number of Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Albert Adomah’s impressive performance for Nottingham Forest in Tuesday night’s 3-0 win over Derby County in the Carabao Cup.
The 31-year-old was released by the Villa Park outfit at the end of the 2018-19 season, a hugely successful campaign in which they finished in the Championship’s top six and then won the playoffs.
