Aston Villa have been enjoying a fantastic period of late. They’ve sealed their place in the play-offs and are also currently on a 12 game unbeaten run.
However, controversy has been sparked on social media after the Villans announced their goal of the season winner.
It went to Jack Grealish for a fine individual effort against Rotherham.
But Villa fans were enraged that John McGinn wasn’t given the award instead. The Scot scored a thumping volley which soared into the top corner against Sheffield Wednesday but it appears to have gone unrecognised.
One fan reacted on Twitter by saying it was a robbery whilst another jokingly said the police should be called.
A further supporter called McGinn’s goal one of the best they’ve ever seen. Another tweet claimed it was a once in a lifetime strike. Given the award was fan voted in the first place, the reaction was rather bizarre.
The 24-year-old has been sublime this season after arriving from Hibernian. He’s featured in 40 Championship games, scoring six goals and claiming a further nine assists.
Here’s the best of the reaction.
