Aston Villa 2-1 Derby County: Prince William and John Carew celebrate Villans securing return to Premier League after Championship Play-Off win at Wembley
The duo formed an unlikely bromance and could be seen celebrating in one of the boxes at Wembley
Prince William and John Carew celebrated Aston Villa's return to the Premier League together at Wembley in one of the most unlikely bromances.
Villa ended their three-year Premier League exile after goals from Anwar El Ghazi and John McGinn secured a deserved 2-1 win over Derby County.
A year after suffering Sky Bet Championship play-off final heartbreak at the hands of Fulham, Villa made amends as El Ghazi and McGinn headed home either side of half-time to give them control of a pulsating encounter.
Rams substitute Jack Marriott set up a tense finish by halving the deficit nine minutes from time but Villa dug in to hold on.
Victory for Dean Smith's side in the most lucrative game in world football will pocket the West Midlands club a minimum £170million and returns them to the top flight for the first time since relegation in 2016.
And no on seemed happier about it than His Royal Highness and former Villa striker Carew.
After Marrott's strike, the Prince could be seen holding his head in his hands before the final whistle blew and the anguish turned to jubilation.
