Thanks for your company tonight. It's been an evening to remember for Villa fans and perhaps one to forget for the Boro faithful.

See you on Saturday, 26 May for the Championship play-off final between Aston Villa and Fulham! Good night.

Boro boss Tony Pulis continues: "We've had good moments and - in those moments - we've got to take those chances.

"That's where we've fallen down a bit.

"We've got to dust ourselves down, thank our supporters and improve for next season."

Villa players and BBC Breakfast's resident Boro fan have been among those to react on social media:

On the decision not to send off Villa keeper Sam Johnstone for a handball outside the area, Tony Pulis adds: "I'm really disappointed.

"Everybody understands the rules and you need him to make the correct decision. I don't think he's made the correct decision.

"Personally, I think it was the wrong decision and I'm sure there's a lot of people watching who'd agree with me."

In the closing stages of tonight's game, should Villa keeper Sam Johnstone have been sent off?

He was shown a yellow card after deliberately handling the ball just outside the area.

Villa boss Steve Bruce says:

"Yes, it could have been a red card. We probably got away with one there."

Middlesbrough failed to have a single shot on target tonight - and only two across the whole tie - as they went down 1-0 on aggregate.

Boro boss Tony Pulis tells Sky Sports: "A set play has really cost us over two games.

"But I'm very, very proud of the lads. In the first half tonight, we played really, really well.

"But we've created opportunities and we've got to take those opportunities.

"The teams that's finished third and fourth over a season has got to Wembley and that's justification I can accept. It's difficult for me to say that, but they've been the third and fourth-best teams in the league."

And on Saturday, 26 May, we now know that it'll be Aston Villa v Fulham at Wembley, for a place in the Premier League.

It should be a cracker.

And here's what's still to come in League Two:

Thursday, 17 May (19:45 BST): Exeter City v Lincoln City (0-0 agg)

Friday, 18 May (19:45 BST): Notts County v Coventry City (1-1 agg)

Monday, 28 May (15:00 BST): League Two play-off final

The Championship semi-finals may be over, but there's lots more to come from the play-offs. For starters, here's the remaining League One schedule:

Wednesday, 16 May (19:45 BST): Rotherham United v Scunthorpe United (2-2 agg)

Sunday, 27 May (15:00 BST): League One play-off final

On facing Fulham in 26 May's final, Steve Bruce adds:

"They're a good football side. They've got some good players but - then again - so have way.

"Going to Wembley, let's enjoy it."

Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce tells Sky Sports: "We just shaded it over the two games, with a goal from a set-piece.

"But in the second half tonight there was only one team that was going to win it.

"It was agony towards the end, if I'm being honest. It means so much.

"Thankfully it looks as if we've got the club turned around a little bit.

"We've given ourselves a good chance. We're up against an outstanding team in Fulham."

In among the scenes of celebration at the end, this Aston Villa fan took a moment to pay tribute to Jlloyd Samuel.

The former Villa defender died in a car crash earlier on Tuesday.

Middlesbrough spent £6m to sign striker Rudy Gestede from Aston Villa 18 months ago, but having since dropped out of the Premier League it's his former side who have tonight taken a step closer to returning there this summer.

After the match, Gestede handed his shirt over to a young Boro fan...

Villa boss Steve Bruce has won promotion to the top flight four times in his managerial career, including play-off success with both Birmingham City (2001-02) and Hull City (2015-16).

He's now one win away from doing it again.

Cameron Hume: The boys put up a decent fight but fair play to Villa's defence. Wouldn't be so sad if it didn't mean we'll now lose Traore in the summer

Shaun Perry: Boro truly awful - 3 hrs without scoring against this lot

Dr Tom Wilkinson: Chill out lads, we didn't win the World Cup yet...

Villa playmaker Jack Grealish tells Sky Sports: "We fought hard tonight. Now we're looking forward to the final.

"I put a lot of my good form lately in to this guy (Terry) and I thank him for that.

"It's all to play for at Wembley. It's a one-off game. With the quality in our team, we've got enough to go at them [Fulham]."

As Villa celebrate, there are Boro fans with their heads in their hands in the away end.

The visitors simply didn't show enough quality tonight, to break Villa down.

Stewart Downing hit the bar from a powerful free-kick late on, but Boro didn't technically get any attempts on target. That's not good enough in a semi-final second leg, when you need a goal.

Aston Villa defender John Terry tells Sky Sports: "It was two very good performances.

"The boys were different class. It was important we didn't concede. Another clean sheet is very good.

"The gameplan was superb so the manager deserves a lot of credit for that.

"There's a great team spirit among the boys. One more step and it'll be the dream.

"Boro are a very good side... [Adama] Traore is a big threat but [Alan] Hutton was superb over the two legs."
