Smith keeps Villa up

Former Hereford United player Dean Smith along with former coach Richard O'Kelly have kept Aston Villa in the Premier League on a dramatic final day.

Villa were seven points from safety just two weeks ago but a great set of results has kept them up by one point.

Smith's team drew 1-1 at West Ham, while Bournemouth won 3-1 at Everton. Watford - who lost 3-2 versus Arsenal - were relegated along with Bournemouth.

Smith was a popular defender at Hereford, playing 117 games between 1994 and 1997.
