The 23-year-old made an instant impact at Villa after his return from injury.
In the span of 2 months, the Lions skyrocketed from 13th position to 5th in the Championship table with a string of victories.
Grealish has scored four goals in the process and also garnered considerable assists as well.
Furthermore, his goal against Derby County won the best goal of the Championship last month.
The English midfielder also scored a wonderful solo goal in the 2-1 win against Rotherham United.
And his performance led to his fellow team-mate John McGinn, labeling him the best player in the Championship.
The victory against Millwall yesterday marked Dean Smith’s tenth consecutive win, without any defeat or draw, eventually breaking the club’s record.
