Emi Martinez
Man-of-the-match in Villa’s last two Premier League matches but had a much easier day here. Will be annoyed at conceding.
Quiet 7
Matty Cash
Alert to keep the tricky Mitoma quiet and a threat when Villa went forward. Set up the opener with a well-timed run and cross.
Busy 8
Ezri Konsa
Villa’s Mr Cool at the back. His pass out of defence, the type he would not have attempted 12 months ago, flipped the early momentum.
Dominant 8
Pau Torres
A reassuringly solid performance in defence. Seems to be growing in confidence with every game.
Better 7
