'No.9 next year!' - Chelsea fans go crazy as Tammy Abraham sends Aston Villa to Wembley

Tammy Abraham booked Aston Villa's place in the 2019 Championship play-off final, prompting a huge reaction from Chelsea supporters.

Dean Smith's side will wait to see the outcome of this evening's match between Derby County and Leeds United in order to find out who they will face on May 27 at Wembley Stadium.

But the heroes of the penalty shootout win over West Brom at the Hawthorns were goalkeeper Jed Steer and the on-loan Blues youngster.

The Baggies went into the second leg trailing 2-1 from the first-leg at Villa Park a game in which Abraham also scored in, but managed to force extra-time and penalties thanks to a 1-0 win on the night despite losing Chris Brunt to a red card.

However, it was the visitors who kept their nerve from 12 yards.

Steer set the tone by saving the first two spot-kicks and after Albert Adomah has missed the chance to send Villa to Wembley, it was down to Abraham to complete the job.

And that's exactly what he did. The 21-year-old expertly tucked away his spot kick to spark jubilant scenes from the travelling Villa supporters and the club are now just one win away from returning to the Premier League.

Speaking after the game, Abraham heaped praise on Steer and revealed why he was so confident in scoring his penalty.

"What a keeper - I've missed a couple against him,"he said. "I'm used to the pressure, I like the pressure."

Not only were the Villa fans delighted with Abraham's impact, but a number of supporters from his parent club have had a lot to say.
