Jack Grealish inspired Aston Villa‘s comeback as a late show against West Brom put them on the brink of another Wembley final.The midfielder set up Conor Hourihane’s leveller and won the penalty for Tammy Abraham to convert and earn a slender 2-1 advantage in the first leg of their Sky Bet Championship play-off semi final.The goals came inside 202 seconds as the Baggies imploded in the final 15 minutes and had Gayle sent off for a second yellow card late on.The on-loan Newcastle man will miss Tuesday’s return leg at the Hawthorns having scored a first-half opener after seizing on Glenn Whelan’s mistake.Gayle struck hard and low left-footed to beat the keeper in the first half2
