Just 56 minutes after getting sucker punched by some ass clown fan, Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish fittingly scored his team’s game winner downing Birmingham City in the Second City Derby Sunday.

Not only that, Grealish’s tally was the only goal of the game as the Villans moved two points behind Nottingham Forest for eighth place in the EFL table.

Meanwhile, the fan who was blowing kisses as he was led away by police has been arrested and more than likely awaiting charges.

Meanwhile, the EFL released a statement on Twitter regarding the incident that took place earlier:

Following the earlier incident at St Andrew's, an EFL spokesman said:

“The EFL condemns the mindless actions of the individual who encroached on to the pitch at St Andrews on Sunday afternoon.

“It’s a situation no player should ever be faced with.” [1/3]

“In all circumstances the playing surface is for players, not supporters and those playing in the game must be able to do so safe in the knowledge they will not be subjected to this type of behaviour." [2/3]
— EFL (@EFL) March 10, 2019

“Whilst this incident falls within the remit of the Football Association, we will work with all the relevant parties to address the issue of player and match officials safety on the pitch and ensure the appropriate action is taken.” [3/3]
