Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish was attacked by a man who ran on to the pitch in the Championship match against derby rivals Birmingham.

The incident, which occurred in the ninth minute of the game, saw a fan sprint onto the pitch from the corner flag and throw a punch right at the back of the 23-year-old's head.

The fan was immediately reprimanded by a steward before being surrounded by furious Aston Villa players.

As he was escorted off the pitch in the direction of police officers, the supporter can be seen blowing kisses to other Birmingham City fans who are heard cheering.
