    Dean Smith revealing Jacob Ramsey got a big round of applause by the Villa dressing room afterwards after making his Premier League debut. A proud moment for the kid from Great Barr. Well done, JJ. 👏 #AVFC

    The People's Champion, John McGinn, still here almost two hours after full-time, signing tops, chatting to #avfc fans, having selfies. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the skipper, always the last to leave to make sure he's spoken to every fan who has waited in the cold. 💜

    Dean Smith says the Villa squad and backroom staff gave debutants Jaden Philogene-Bidace and Carney Chukwuemeka a huge round of applause when they came back into the dressing room afterwards. Love that. 👏 #AVFC

    Our goalkeeper! 😆. What a guy. What a player. Emi Martinez follows in the footsteps of those including Gianluigi Buffon, Iker Casillas, Manuel Neuer & Thibaut Courtois to win Golden Glove! 🧤 #AVFC

    Gerrard was asked about Jon Moss's performance: "No comment. I hope it's looked at. That's all I'll say." #avfc

    Jack Grealish via @England: "Gareth briefed us (of the squad) this morning before training. Buzzing, I was. I told my Mom, first. I just rang her to say I had the No.7 shirt. England's No.7 at a major championships? I was shocked as soon as I got told. I had goosebumps." #AVFC
