Aston Villa came from behind to beat Viv Solomon Otabor's Birmingham City 4-2 on game week 18 in the EFL Championship on Sunday afternoon.
Nigeria Football Federation target Tammy Abraham was officially named Man of the Match following his brilliant performance at Villa Park.
Jutkiewicz's 28th minute opener was cancelled out by Jonathan Kodjia before Jack Grealish fired the Claret and Blue Army ahead on 39 minutes.
Five minutes after the restart, Abraham gave Aston Villa a two-goal cushion, scoring from the spot after being brought down by Michael Morrison.
Speaking after the game, Abraham told Aston Villa TV : ''I haven’t experienced anything like that before. I’d heard a lot of things before the game. The lads were telling about it.
''Everyone was hyped. Everyone was buzzing. I know we started slow. But once we got the first goal it gave everyone confidence and a spirit to keep going.
''I enjoyed it very much. It was a great team performance.''
Abraham who joined Villa on a season-long loan in the summer transfer window has netted five goals in his last eight games in the Championship.
