Aston Villa captain John Terry knows they're now close to realising their "dream" of a Premier League return.

They booked a promotion showdown with Fulham on May 26 after a 1-0 aggregate win over Middlesbrough.

Chelsea legend Terry told Sky Sports: "It's unbelievable and incredible. The support from the lads, the dressing room is incredible. There is a great team spirit among the boys. One more step and it'll be the dream.

"It was quite tense, I think our game plan worked superbly so our manager deserves a lot of credit for that. The boys have been superb and we're off to Wembley – one more to go.

"We'll not to get too excited, there's still one to go. It's a huge week ahead for us.

"As a one-off, it's fantastic if you go up through the play-offs, although I would love to have been second and sitting on a beach now."
