    Once they've got their breath back, Aston Villa will discover their Wembley opponents on Wednesday when Leeds face Derby in the second leg of their semi-final at Elland Road.

    Leeds won a controversial first leg 1-0 on Saturday, with Kemar Roofe netting Leeds' winner and the Rams incensed that they were not awarded a second-half penalty.

    With only one goal in it, however, it's still all to play for. We'll have live text coverage from 19:30 BST on Wednesday.

    It looks like every Villa fan has stayed behind to serenade their team, who are lapping it up on the pitch.

    They might've reached the play-off final last year but it feels no less special the second time around.

    For West Brom it's an agonising end to a first season back in the Championship - they will now rebuild with the likelihood of a new manager.

    The crowd made it tough with the atmosphere but in the end I felt we ran out worthy winners. It’s not good getting to Wembley and falling at the final hurdle again, so fingers crossed. All of us are very hungry and have good legs in us.
