# Aston Villa fans look back at significant win in promotion-winning​ season

Aston Villa are struggling in the Premier League now but that is perhaps no surprise as they are a newly-promoted club.

Dean Smith’s side secured their return back to the top-flight after beating Derby County at Wembley in the play-off final last season.

However, just reaching the top six was an achievement as Smith had inherited an inconsistent side in mid-table when he arrived and Villa had to deal with the huge expectancy that comes with pulling on the claret and blue, particularly in the Championship.

A fine run towards the end of the season put Villa in contention of finishing in the top six and perhaps a defining win came against Sheffield Wednesday – which was a year ago yesterday.

Stoppage time goals from Albert Adomah and Tammy Abraham sealed an invaluable 3-1 win and gave Villa an advantage over the chasing pack that they wouldn’t relinquish.

So, [when the club shared the goals on Twitter](https://twitter.com/AVFCOfficial/status/1247196618379550720), it brought plenty of responses from the fans who enjoyed looking back at a memorable recent away day.

Here we look at some of the comments…
