Seven years after firing them into the Premier League, Tammy Abraham is back scoring goals at <\/b>Aston Villa<\/b> to keep their fans and manager dreaming of glory.<\/b><\/p>\n

With Villa on the verge of losing 1-0 to Leeds United on Saturday, substitute Abraham, who had only been on the pitch for 13 minutes, guided the ball with his knee into the net to score an 88th-minute equaliser.<\/p>\n

It was the 28-year-old’s second goal since returning to the club following his \u00a318.2m move from Besiktas in January, after scoring in the 3-1 loss to Newcastle in the FA Cup seven days ago.<\/p>\n

But scoring for Villa is nothing new for the 11-time England international. He netted 25 times in 37 Championship games to help the club win promotion in 2018-19 during a loan spell from Chelsea.<\/p>\n

After his original time with Villa, Abraham had two seasons at Chelsea, three at Roma, one on loan at AC Milan and then another loan spell at Besiktas, with the Turkish club buying him to then immediately sell him to Villa for a profit.<\/p>\n

“It feels like a dream to come back and play for this club again,” said Abraham. “I’m happy to be here and bring extra energy.<\/p>\n

“I had to sniff around the box, be alert, be ready. Luckily for us, I got the goal – it was in front of some of the best supporters in the world.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
