Villa fan gives back Delph's captain armband

Fabian Delph's Aston Villa captain's armband has been tracked down on Twitter.

The midfielder was mobbed by Villa supporters during a pitch invasion following their 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday evening.

Villa masseur Alex Butler appealed for Twitter to help find the armband ahead of their semi-final at Wembley, offering Scott Sinclair's top as a reward for whoever returns it.

"The armband has been missing for 12 hours now... please share and bring him home #AVFC #returnofthearmband," Butler tweeted.

And it proved a success when a supporter agreed to return the armband.

Butler then added on Sunday morning: "Ok, #AVFC fans the armband is being returned let's all just enjoy our day and thank @Rob___Taylor for being a good sport."
