Last weekend Aston Villa's Jack Grealish scored a very important goal for Newcastle United.
The Magpies defeated Barnsley 3-0 on the final day of the season, but that result alone was not enough for Rafa Benitez's men to finish above Brighton & Hove Albion. They needed the league leaders to fail to win, and that looked like it was not about to happen with Brighton 1-0 up in the 88th minute.
But it was Jack Grealish to the rescue for the Toon Army, as the (former) Ireland U21 international fired a hopeful shot from outside the area that managed to find it's way into the bottom corner, and handed the Championship title to Newcastle.
And the players were rather grateful.
Ciaran Clark, who has been seriously enjoying Newcastle's title win over the past few days, uploaded a picture of Grealish in a local nightclub celebrating the end of the season.

Clark and Grealish would have been pals at Aston Villa, which explains how the invitation would have come about, but most of the Newcastle first team were out enjoying themselves, and Grealish was happy to tag along surely knowing that a few of the Newcastle boys would have felt like they owe him a pint.
