Albert Adomah saw 73 minutes of action as Aston Villa survived a late scare against Derby County to win the Championship play-off final 2-1 at Wembley.

Villa dominated the first half and took a deserved lead a minute before the interval.

Ahmed Elmohamady crossed from the right and Anwar El Ghazi stooped at the far post to head into the net.

Villa doubled their lead in the 59th minute through John McGinn.

El Ghazi’s shot was deflected high into the air and Derby keeper Kelle Roos made a mess of the catch, allowing McGinn to divert the ball into the net.

Derby pulled one back late in the game through substitute Martyn Waghorn but Villa held on to book a place in the Premiership after three-year absence.

Adomah registered 2 assists and scored 4 goals in 39 games for the club in the Championship.
