Tammy Abraham admits it "feels like a dream" to be scoring for Aston Villa again.
The 28-year-old came off the bench to score a late equaliser against Leeds , prodding the ball past Karl Darlow in the 88th minute.
Ezri Konsa won the first contact in the box, before Abraham nudged the ball in at the Holte End.
Daniel Farke's side had opened the scoring in the first half through Anton Stach, who netted a stunning free-kick in the 31st minute.
Abraham, who returned to Villa in January from Besiktas, has now scored in successive matches, having also found the net against Newcastle last weekend.
He also had a goal disallowed against Brentford after VAR ruled the ball out of play 19 seconds earlier during the attacking phase of possession.
"Like I said many times, it feels like a dream to come back and play for this club again,” Abraham said after the game.
“I'm happy to be here and bring extra energy. I had to sniff around the box, be alert, be ready. Luckily for us, I got the goal.
"These things are important in football. Set pieces have been one of the key factors in football. We were hungry.
“Well done to Ezri [Konsa] for the first contact and I was there for the second contact. It was in front of some of the best supporters in the world."
