Jack Grealish reacted as all Aston Villa supporters would to news that Birmingham City are being deducted nine points.
Blues breached the EFL’s profitability and sustainability regulations and have been docked points as a punishment, with Garry Monk’s side set to drop well down the Championship table as a result.

Blues have lost each of their previous four matches without scoring a goal, with the Second City derby earlier this month the second game of that shocking run of results.

Grealish got the last laugh, however, as he scored the winning goal and then saw the supporter, later named as Paul Mitchell, jailed for the assault.
