Chelsea Loanee Abraham Celebrates 21st Birthday With Goal In Crazy Game At Villa Park

Tammy Abraham was on target as Aston Villa shared the spoils with Preston North End in a six-goal Championship thriller at Villa Park on Tuesday, October 2.

The home team were two goals up heading into the interval with Jonathan Kodjia and Abraham writing their names on the score-sheet.

On the day he celebrated his 21st birthday, the Nigeria Football Federation target tucked home from close range after he was teed up by McGinn in the 37th minute.

Preston North End came from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 thanks to goals from Daniel Johnson, Paul Gallagher and Louis Moult, only for Yannick Bolasie to equalize in the first minute of stoppage time.

Abraham was sacrificed as manager Steve Bruce was forced to change the formation after James Chester was sent off in the 54th minute.
 
The Chelsea loanee has scored two goals in five games in the EFL Championship in the current season.
