Aston Villa Player Ratings

Orjan Nyland (8/10)

He made a number of match-winning saves but his distribution was awful.

Alan Hutton (6/10)

Hutton kept Barrie McKay at bay throughout the game. His defending was superb on the night.

James Chester (9/10)

Best player on the night for Villa. He made a countless number of clearances and was superb with his passing.

Axel Tuanzebe (7/10)

He barely put a foot wrong throughout the night. The United loanee handled McBurnie well.

Neil Taylor (7/10)

He was pretty good on the night. When he’s good, he tends to turn heads.

Birkir Bjarnason (7/10)

He was brilliant in the first half but was careless in the second half.

John McGinn (8/10)

The Scottish international was supreme on the night. Unfortunately, he will miss the next game through suspension.

Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish (7.5/10)

His dribbling posed all sorts of problems for Swansea. Grealish was crisp with his passing as well and tested the Swansea goal on many occasions.

Ahmed Elmohamady (8/10)

He picked up the assist for Abraham’s goal in the first half. Elmohamady was superb with his crosses too.

Tammy Abraham (7/10)

He was superb in this game and scored a brilliant goal to kick off Dean Smith’s reign.

Albert Adomah (6.5/10)

He often slowed down the play during the counter. He was also very hesitant on the ball.

Substitutes

Yannick Bolasie (6/10)

Bolasie came on and dazzled with his ability on the ball. Was unfortunate not to pick up an assist.

Jonathan Kodjia (5/10)

Was unable to make much of an impact but he did well to hold the play up.
