On Monday, the final Championship play-off match for the third ticket to the English Premier League took place at London's Wembley Stadium. In the knockout final, Aston Villa faced Derby County. Frank Lampard's Derby team failed to realize their dream - the Birmingham team claimed victory and after a three-year break, is returning to the country's highest division. In the 44th minute, Anwar El-Ghazi put Aston Villa ahead. The hosts extended their lead in the 59th minute when John McGinn scored after a goalkeeper error. Despite conceding two goals, Derby did not give up and continued to fight. In the 81st minute, they managed to reduce the deficit, but they failed to score another goal that would take the teams to extra time. Aston Villa is stepping into the Premier League alongside Norwich and Sheffield Utd, who secured their places earlier.
